The Lower Madison
Starting below Ennis Reservoir and running north for approximately 35 miles to its confluence with the Missouri, the lower Madison provides both excellent wading and floating opportunities.

Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
5-6 As of right now, the lower Madison will be your best shot at clear water. Beatis have been coming off thick mid-day with caddis following in the evenings making for some potentially great dry fly activity. Keep your eyes peeled for surface activity as the rises may be subtle for the beatis, with more splashy rises at the caddis.

Recommended Fly Patterns
Nymphs:
Sparkle Pupa, Dave's Emerger, Mercers Swing Caddis, Rubberlegs

Streamers:
Dead Drift Crayfish, McCunes Sculpin, Clouser Crayfish

Dries: Goddard Caddis, CDC Caddis Emerger, Ride-Rite Beatis
