10/25 Bear Trap

I fished the Upper bear trap on the madison saturday just below Ennis Dam. It was an ok day of fishing probably due to the water still being muddy from Ennis lake. It was colder in the morning but as the day progressed the clouds went away and the sun came out. The set-up of the day seemed to be any olive green bugger with a pink midge dropper. Also caught some fish on olive bead head soft hackles and lightning bugs. Some fish were rising here and there to baetis flies, but nothing would touch a dry fly. The fish we caught were earlier in the morning and around 12:30 - 1:00 the fishing slowed down.
