Lower Mad Salmon Flies

While fishing the lower madison yesterday I pulled out the saining net to see a quick sample of what was crawling on the river bottom... Salmon fly nymphs are absolutely everywhere along the banks and are quite active. We did several sains and I don't think I pulled it out once without there being 8 - 10 of them in the net. Expect the hatch to be prolific from the recent increased flows, which has churned the riverbed. Look for these guys to be popping in the next week or two. Even better, you don't have to wait to fish... They're eating the nymphs plenty good. The weather is warm and the fishing is picking up... there's no better time than the present! See you out there,
