HOPPER FEVER PERSISTS!
Hopper season continues on the Upper and Lower Madison. the warm, sunny dry days have kept the bugs alive and the trout are still taking them. Looks like another week of Hopper weather on deck, so keep throwing them.
Some anglers are doing well with small nymphs and the occasional streamer too as to be expected, but we'll have plenty of time for that later once summer finally gives way to fall...For now, we keep fishing Hoppers! We like tan, pink and yellow..
