Madison at McAtee bridge - Jun-22-2011


The Madison is running at 3760 cfs right now so floating is very tough. However fishing has been okay in the wade section, just working slack water behind boulders and other debris in the river. Fishing large nymphs and various flashback flies have been working the best. Along with San Juan worms. Streamer fishing can be very productive now as well.

Firehole River - Jun-22-2011


The water has started to drop on the Firehole. Fishing has been much better within the past week. Starting to see some PMD's hatching as well as caddis. Swinging soft hackles seems to be the most consistent method of fishing on the Firehole.

Hebgen Lake - Jun-22-2011


Hebgen is starting to pick up. The water is still a little low but is filling up quickly. Fishing on the north shore of Hebgen has proven to be the hot spot. Fishing with chironomids has been a little spotty lately, but people have still been catching fish with them. However fishing with leech patterns such as the brown crystal bugger and the black and gold bugger has been the most consistent.
