A day
with Captain Cain-garoo!
Reva and Alan went out with one of our very great guides here on the Madison, Randy Cain. They had a very successful day you might say! The fish were eating and the hammer was brought down! Great job guys! Its cloudy right now and the weather is perfect for throwing bunny with a dropper. Get it while its good!

The past couple weeks have seen an abundance of insect hatches with Caddis, PMDs, various other Mayflies, Yellow Sallies and a few Nocturnal Stoneflies in the mix as the primary food source for our trout. 
There have been some epic days of dry fly fishing using PMDs, Parachute Adams, Purple Haze, Caddis, Ants and small attractor patterns such as the Delektable Chubbyness. There have also been some slower dry fly days, and many of us have turned to adding small nymphs about 3 feet under the dry fly or using two small nymphs with a small split shot. Most notably productive nymph patterns have been the Psycho Prince, Delektable Sure Strikes, Copper Johns, Red, Purple, Gold and Silver Lightning Bugs and the Delektable Hammerhead. Small Girdle Bugs in different colors have also come back into style after a brief hiatus following the salmon fly hatch. Split shot above the flies has allowed anglers to get down quickly behind rocks and into the buckets where fish seem to be lying in the middle of the day. 
The weapon of choice for a lot of us though has been the streamer/nymph combo. An effective approach has been to cast dark sculpin patterns and various nymphs close to the bank, giving it a couple quick strips into deeper water where you can mend and dead drift through the buckets, eventually allowing it to swing across. This has produced good numbers and some quality fish. Ants and Hoppers should be just around the corner.
I hope you are enjoying all the fish porn…because its just going to keep going…Keep scrolling. 
It’s a good time to Go fishing! So….GO:) -Parker
Marty Authement is our number one guide
after Dan Delekta out of the shop here at the Beartooth. He is from Homa, Louisiana as some of you know from a redfish trip or two with him. He is one of our best trout guides here! (he can also catch whitefish too:) Britt and Suzanne found out just how good Marty can be at getting people on fish today! The bugs were size 12, 14 and 16 caddis and mayfly dries of royal colors. The nocturnal stone is about to be in full swing here in a minute 
er so, so get your big, dark bugs out again and get ready for that wingless little fast runnin’ stonefly! I hope you all are having a killer summer, do swing in the shop and say hey if you get the chance! Great job Britt and Suzanne!!! Happy Fishing!!! -Dang
The Boys Are Back In Town
Mike, Steve and Jason were here. Fact. Nancy showed them how to catch fat rainbows while Dan and the boys got weird.

A Late Father’s Day Duo Today was another awesome day on the Madison for two of our fine clients. It was a fine partially sunny day on the river and the fish were in good spirits eating dries and nymphs. All was well on the Maddy.
The fish that were caught were very fine, healthy fish and made Pa and Son very happy. They caught them on dries such as the Royal Cripple sizes 16 and 18, and Dan’s Delektable Royal Chubbyness size 16. Nymph bite was on too with PMDs being the 
main drag. A size 14 Lemon Drop was the ticket there. When all said and done, Marty was the man, again, and Matt & Ken were two very happy, satisfied clients we like to call our friends! Happy Fishing Everyone!!!
