Fishing Report for the Madison River 8-5-2017
The Madison river is still doing pretty well compared to other rivers in Montana. The river still has good flow and the water temperatures are around 60 degrees in the mornings. The dog days of august are upon us but the Madison can be your chance to beat them. The mornings will be your best bet for catching fish. Most of the hatches have slowed down so now is the time to start thinking terrestrials. Ants, beetles and grasshoppers are working really well. There are also tricos out and about, so look for spinner falls in the late morning. Nymphing and streamers have been productive in the deeper pools and runs. Don't start the august blues just yet, there is still time to get some quality fishing in on the Madison.
