Fishing Report Upper Madison River 3-20-2016

With the week ahead of good weather now is the time to break out the rod and waders and get to the Madison River. The fish have really got on the feed the last few days and it might just be some of the best fishing of spring. The guys doing the bobber lobber thing are still king on numbers. Worms, eggs, and stone fly nymphs are catching fish river wide. The streamer guys are moving a few fish and catching some really big ones. If your looking for the fish of the year throw streamers all day and stick with it. The river is in great shape with the occasional slush along the bank in the mornings. The best fishing has been mid afternoon from about 1-5. Keep an eye out for the first good BWO hatch of the year and look for some heads. Starting to see some pre spawning fish in the river. The rainbows are all dressed up and ready for the party. If you see active spawning fish please stay off the redds and give them their space.
