Spruce moth, ant, and hopper patterns bring best daytime action on the upper Madison River.   The same goes for the Gallatin River and the West Fork of the Madison River. Gulpers are still active but past their peak on Hebgen Lake.  Dry fly fishing on the Beaverhead River is terrific with spruce moths, craneflies, caddisflies, various mayflies, and terrestrials all attracting trout. All you need to do is find which fish are taking at a given time.
