Sept. 17

Floated the Lower madison today with the Minamis. With the water running at 3600+ cfs, it was anything but ordinary. We noticed lots of bugs coming off with no action on top, we went with nymphs all day. Starting off fishing the banks and the regular buckets we found very few fish. Going to the middle of the river was the way to go today. We boated about a dozen fish and lost several more. The river is fast so go for a longer distance float or it will be over quick.
