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.                                                                                              IMG_2534SMIMG_2322SM IMG_2324SM IMG_2318Sm SM IMG_2523SM IMG_2327SM IMG_2314SM

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.                                                                                                                  IMG_2513SM IMG_2511SM

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 IMG_2509SM 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!!!

Steve and Jim Geil fished with Dan Delekta and Brandon on the Beaverhead River. IMG_0830SM IMG_0827SM IMG_0826SM IMG_0821SMDan Greene and his friend John from Pennsylvania also fished the Beave the following day. Both groups had similar success using the same patterns. Small PMD beadheads were highly effective on these notoriously spooky trout. 20150712_075246SM 20150712_090657SM 20150712_134939SMBoth groups        netted some solid fish but they had to work for them amongst many boats. Dan Greene and John also threw white streamers for many followers but only a few hookups.                                                                                                                    -Parker

The Houses are in the House

The House girls fished the upper Madison withIMG_1463SM Randy Cain and Captain Marty today. Three words: Silver Lightning Bug. Fishing was steady as we deal with warmer temperatures. Getting the fly down to the fish was really important as they are a bit lethargic in the middle of the afternoon. The House family had a blast learning some new techniques and hearing stories from Randy and Marty.                                                                                                     IMG_2503SM IMG_2502SM                                                                 -Parker

Nancy and Big Fish Kim floated the Madison IMG_0772SMtoday from Ruby Campground to Burnt Tree with Brandon Struckman as their guide. Dry flies weren’t happening despite an abundance of adult PMDs, caddis and yellow sallies. Small nymphs of these varieties through the lower section of their float were very productive. We’ll let the pictures tell the rest!  Of special note was that Kim’s incredible persistence really paid off. She never let her line be dry. Her flies were in the water all the time, even when taking a break on the side for lunch, she had her flies in the water. Nancy had some action on dries but caught smaller fish with the dries. Tight lining with two small flies was a good option in addition to using a bobber with two small nymphs.
