Upper Madison:
The weather has been all over the place, 50 degrees and rain/snow one day, to 80 and bluebird skies the next. There's been plenty of bugs down there between some late March Browns, and the typical mix of Caddis and Baetis. The water has been getting dirtier with the warm days and rain mixed in, but the fishing has been pretty good! Nymphing is still your best bet, but there are a few fish rising and streamers will shine in the murkier stuff. Stop in and talk to our staff for more in depth reports/recommendations.

Upper Madison:
With the lake filling up more and more each day, the water should start coming up a bit. The recent cold spell could stall the bugs for a while, but fish are definitely starting to look up, and small attractors like chubbies and wulffs should start rising some. The nymphing is as solid as ever, with mayfly nymphs & emergers, caddis pupa, and stonefly nymphs all on the menu. Streamers are always a safe bet too, especially with the coming gloomy nasty weather, or on the warmer days when the tribs start running off mud.
