Anglers have caught on to the fact that the Madison River between Hebgen Dam and Cabin Creek has some of the best fishing in Montana.  So this part of the river is becoming quite crowded.  The river below Quake Lake is a bit discolored, but San Juan worm, streamer, and big nymph patterns will produce some results.  Hebgen Lake AM & PM midge emergences are bringing action.  The Gallatin below the Taylor’s Fork confluence is discolored and poor fishing. Try slump busters on Cliff Lake and big woolly buggers on Wade Lake.
