I spoke to Ian Davis from Yellowdog Flyfishing Adventures this morning. He has been guiding on the Upper Madison (mostly Varney-Town) for the past few weeks. He has had good luck dead drifting bow river buggers and stonefly nymphs and dropping either a caddis emerger or PMD emerger off the back. He said he has seen some small floaters in the water, he wasn't sure whether they were trout or whities, but the carcasses are offering easy meals for the larger trout. The dryfly fishing has been decent, the smaller fish have been committing to PMD's and caddis patterns tight to the bank. I expect the fish to move back into the riffels and drop offs as the water level has dropped below 1500 cfs. No terestrial activity yet but be be ready. Be aware of the water temps and try not to over-exhaust the fish.
