The River clarity was about three feet today on Mother’s Day… A nice green color.

Early on, the fish were hungry then we had to work for our fish mid afternoon. Later we found some pods of rising fish in back eddies. Flies of choice were the Delektable™ Mega Prince and Hurless imitating the Skwalla Stones. Later on we were scoring well on dries. Caddis and March Browns were coming off and the fish were biting. We tried a Royal Chubby as the lead fly and trailed it with one of Dave Bloom’s Hi Vis Caddis. it worked well.

Gregg Machel, our web technical consultant came to visit and help with our software upgrades and got to fish with us on Mother’s day after we completed some big computer work. He caught a number of trout on the double dry combo.

Our friend Dan, of Rocky Mountain Embroidery, who does our Beartooth Flyfishing embroidery had a good day with a very nice catch shown in his photo with his special boat, he made himself. Nice fish Dan!

These past couple of days I have gone up above Raynolds Pass bridge and just above Ruby Creek fishing access and both places really produced fish!! Above Raynolds I started out with a Pat’s Rubber Legs Olive and Brown size 8 on top and a beadhead Red Serendipity size 18 on the drop. Continue reading →

The end of August through the middle of September has been memorable in so many ways. The Madison River gives so much to so many human beings.

There were some flying trout….

Groups and individuals of men and women having fun fishing…

Wet flies and dry flies caught fish…

A group of women just learning had terrific results and great fun…

The flies that worked the past two weeks were Hoppers and Ants, Caddis, Royal Wulffs, Trudes, Streamers with trailing nymphs, and girdle bugs with trailing nymphs. The adventure continues.

There were several bear sightings this summer and one bear trapping.

Enjoy the smiley faces!
