Montana Troutfitters is Bozeman’s oldest fly fishing shop Since 1978

Sep 18, 2024

The Upper Madison's flows are getting low, its running around 1200cfs near Cameron. Fish are a little wary but hopper-dropper rigs along the banks or two nymphs through riffles will fish. With most of our summer hatches being finished, baetis nymphs and midges have been doing some heavy lifting. Streamer fishing is always an option on the Madison and will turn on in the evenings.
