madison river fishing report

897 CFS @ Kirby - While the flows on the Upper Madison have stayed manageable, the West Fork is starting to put some color in the river making it dirty not far below. Above that, the fishing has been pretty good mostly nymphing or stripping streamers in and around the bigger rocks on a short line. Dry fly fishing has been tough for now.

Recommended Flies:

Mega Prince #10
Delekta Worm Pink #12
SH Copper John #14
Chubby Sally #14
Sparkle Minnow #16

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
Sculpzilla #8
