April 2nd-9th 2016| Madison River Fishing Report

Dan took our friends Chip and Bill on a float. Big Nymphs in combination rocked!IMG_2564SM IMG_2567SM IMG_2573SM IMG_2576SM Springtime in the Rockies with weather conditions either hot and sunny or cloudy and cold. The bite was on with my favorite stonefly nymphs: all size #6 and #8 Delektable Flashback Mega Prince; Delektable Flashback Hurless Stones in Gray and Olive.

Dan and Nancy had a great day for Dan to take Mrs. Delektable floating.

There were spots in the calm where the trout were sipping like crazy in pods. Those fish were fussy about the dry but not about the Delektable nymphs. Dan’s favorite spring flies were great that day. Later on we did try the small Delektable Chubbyness and it worked too. What a fun day.

Dan fished with Mike and Catalina. They floated from Windy Point to McAtee.

Catalina caught a massive Rainbow and rocked all day. Way to go Cat! Mike helped with the rowing and Dan was able to enjoy some rod bending.

Multiple fun days, early season!

Dan and Nancy
