You Should Have Been Here Yesterday

If you can get here today that might cut it, but yesterday was better. You definitely should have been here yesterday. Here being the upper Madison River, where the combination of salmonflies and gluttonous trout made for a memorable summer day. Yesterday.

  1. Nice! Where was the hatch at? Looks like Raynolds area from the photos?

  2. You're not far off. I'm sure Raynolds would have fished well on the big bugs too, but we were near $3 Bridge.

  3. Yeah, yesterday was the best salmonfly fishing I've ever seen. Truly spectacular fishing with Size 2 dry flies. It really doesn't get any better than yesterday.

  4. Casting airplanes! Very cool photographs. It's tough to catch a good Salmonfly hatch. When you do, count them among your blessing!

  5. Nice. Amazingly the river looks about the same as it did when I was at $3 on Memorial Day. Of course, there were no fishing rising to salmonflies then.
