Lower Madison River Sept. 8th

 I was supposed to do a half day trip on the lower Madison today, but due to the wet weather forecast, I ended up with the day off. I saw very little insect activity when I put in, but with the cloud cover, I thought a Baetis nymph off the back of a crawdad might be an appropriate bug. Five minutes on the water and two casts... Bingo. A fat brown on a #18 fly.
