Upper River:
Lower River:
The lower Madison is dirty right now, although this will hopefully change in the next few days. Caddis are starting to pop, and there are BWOs and March Browns throughout the river. Your best bet right now is to nymph, but when the water clears the fish will start to pick out the hatches.
Josh Cavan grew up near the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana. Josh’s love for fly fishing and Bobcat Football led him to Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. While in college Josh’s love for anything with fins and a tail drove him to pursue a career in guiding. After college Josh guided throughout Montana, and parts of Wyoming helping him to parlay his passion for wild fish in wild places to others.
When not on the river Josh works hard on the vice developing patterns for anything that swims, hitting the slopes with his wife, who is considerably better on the snow then he is, or hanging with his daughter casting an echo practice yarn rod in the living room. Josh is an avid bird hunter and chases waterfowl with his neurotic but birdy black lab Maddie.
