Back into full winter fly fishing. We've got quite a bit of snow here in West Yellowstone but between the lakes is still accessible and the Upper Madison is still pretty much open to easy access. The wind down there keeps it blowed open. Between the lakes has been fishing well with streams and nymphs. On the upper nymphs and streamers are fishing well with a few midge hatches on the right day.
Dry Flies: #18 to #20 Sparkle Duns, Missing Links & Still Born Midges.
Nymphs: #8 Black Sili Legs, #10 Biot Golden Stones, #18 Lightning Bugs, #18 Green Machines
Steamers: #6 Olive Sparkle Minnows, #6 Simi-Seal Leeches, #2 Slap-N-Tickles

As this (beautiful) sunny, crisp weather persists, fishing has been fairly... inconsistent. It's not that fish aren't eating...

Conditions on the Madison have just continued to get better! Bite windows are opening up to span pretty much the entire day, and fish are much less picky about their meals.
