Salmonflies and Caddis Dries




Salmonflies are all over the Upper Madison and Yellowstone River. The MO is fishing great and hoppers are just around the corner. The video above is a underwater picture of a 21" brown trout that Mel from Arizona caught on the lower Madison. Mel had never fished a day in his life, but without any bad habits he picked up the fly rod and had a great time catching lots of great fish. Caddis are out in force on all the major river systems, if they won't eat the big bugs a caddis dry is the next option. Many of the rivers have dropped quickly and are at the perfect levels to catch some great trout. Give us a call if you want to discuss a particular river and all the details. 866-456-6889
