Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
01/27/2012 Great fishing is being reported from the Upper Madison River with the mild weather we have been experiencing. The area from around Varney Bridge to 8-Mile Ford has fished well with small Stonefly nymphs and midge pupa. Also, we have heard of some great fishing from up around Reynolds Pass. Nymph fishing has seemed to be most productive in the slower eddies and pools.
