The Rivers Are Still High

The Madison is still running high. Most of the tributaries are still off color especially the creeks draining out of the Madison Range, there is still a lot of water that needs to come out of there. The river is fishing OK with nymphs but there are a lot of snags moving down the river so expect to get hung up a lot. Between the lakes is fishing well and a big rubber leg will get them to eat.

The Firehole is fishing well with a Caddis emerger in the evening and the PMDs are coming off when the afternoon thunderstorms pass by.

Hebgen Lake is fishing great now! You can get fish on nymphs (like a pheasant tail) and some surface activity with midges in the mornings. A woolly bugger will work well when the others slow down.
