Upper Madison:

The Madison has come down immensely from the high water last week (over 700cfs!) Its clearing up more and more everyday and there's coincidentally plenty of bugs popping off now. the recent cold front hasn't affected anything much. Nymphs are most likely the best way to go, but we've been doing pretty well on small chubby's, caddis, and PMD's on top!

Flies: #10 Pat's Rubberlegs - Black, #16 Black OR Red Krystal Dip, #14 Olive Grub, #14 Pilva's Perdigon - Olive, #16 Royal Chubby, #16 Rocky Mountain Mint - PMD, #14 Chocolate X-Caddis, #14 CDC & Elk Caddis - Black, #6 Olive Peanut Envy, #6 Olive OR Black Mini Sex-Dungeon, #8 Hot Bead Thin Mint, #6 Black Sparkle Minnow Yummy
