976 CFS @ Kirby - The Upper Madison is fishing well at the moment. Clarity if very good at the moment. Caddis seem to be showing up in the lower stretches but overall, nymphing has still been most productive. The cooler weather this weekend could slow things up but as things warm back up, look for the Caddis to come out in bigger numbers.
Recommended Flies:
Parachute Caddis #14
Serengold #16
Sparkle Pupa #16
Delekta Worm #12

863 CFS @ Kirby - The Upper Madison is fishing well right now. The flows are low for this time of year, but BWOs are out in good numbers and the March browns and caddis should be back this week with the warmer temperatures. Focus on fishing subsurface during the heat of the day, being sure to get your flies down quickly. Dry-fly fishing can be good in the evenings.

McCune's Sculpin, Tan #6
Green Machine, Chartreuse #16
Parachute BWO #18
Yuk Bug, Black #8

1120 CFS @ Kirby - The West Fork recently blew out, causing the Upper Madison to gain some color and size. Fishing below the West Fork could be difficult due to the runoff. Try heading upstream a ways, or even in between the lakes. These will likely be the best places to fish until the river starts to drop again.

987 CFS @ Kirby - Flows on the Upper Madison have stayed pretty steady over the past few weeks, and the fishing has been good subsurface. Stonefly nymphs, along with some caddis pupa, are your best bets on the nymph side of things, while stripping streamers will also produce some fish.
