Upper Madison:
With the lake filling up more and more each day, the water should start coming up a bit. The coming cold spell could stall the bugs for a while, but fish are definitely starting to look up, and small attractors like chubbies and wulffs should start rising some. The nymphing is as solid as ever, with mayfly nymphs & emergers, caddis pupa, and stonefly nymphs all on the menu. Streamers are always a safe bet too, especially with the coming gloomy nasty weather.

Upper Madison:
The Upper is fishing pretty consistently, although much lower than it usually is in early May. We're seeing the first mothers day caddis hatches down in the float section, with a good mix of baetis and sparse march browns. Fish are definitely starting to look up, and small attractors like chubbies and wulffs should also start rising some. The nymphing is as solid as ever, with mayfly nymphs & emergers, caddis pupa, and stonefly nymphs all on the menu. Streamers are always a safe bet too, although it might be more of a grind with the low water.
