Two days of father and daughter fishing on the upper Madison. Day one consisted of 
floating from Raynolds Pass Bridge to Pine Butte Creek. We decided to only fish the big water out in the middle of the river where the bank anglers were in fear of wading. The rainbows and browns did the rest. The flies that we used on the Upper River were Delektables: Flashback Megaprinces in size #4, #6, #8; Flashback Olive Megaprince in size #6 and #8 and a Delektable soft hackled red worm in size #12. The bank anglers were happy catching as we floated downstream. The BWO’s were emerging all day and we suspected the bank anglers were having big fun fishing the baetis hatch.
Day two started afloat from Palisades to McAtee Bridge. Since this section of the river is 
open to fishing out of the boat we decided to combine some streamer fishing out of the boat and some wading using nymphs.
The pictures tell the story. I rowed and Allie pounded
BIG browns and rainbows on Delektable Double Screamers in Black/Olive and Olive. The nymphs were the same as day one on the upper river wade float.
