The Madison River is beginning its annual spring fishing season as spring weather is setting in without significant run-off to date.

During AMs, try rubberlegs patterns followed by such as a small Zebra Midge or try a pink San Juan worm. By afternoon keep a look out for fish working the softer water for emerging midges or BWOs. BWO life cycle patterns and Griffiths Gnat patterns should fool rising trout for upcoming days especially those that are wind free.
