Southwestern Montana

The Madison river below Slide Inn is the star of the show here. Lots'a things going on with emergences. Mayflies, caddisflies and even a few stoneflies are beginning to show up. Even the lowly San Juan worm remains effective. So are big nymphs drifted along bottom. Big Hebgen Lake midges provide action along the north shore. Run-off is subsiding on the Gallatin and the creeks coming into the Madison between Hebgen and Quake lakes.
