Four days on the Madison, Day 4
Day four was spent with new clients, Paul and Mayo. The fishing was as solid as it was the previous tow days, but the fly selection had changed quite a bit. Rather than eating big streamers like the two days before, the fish focused on small beadheads all day. Red Copper Johns, PT Spankers, and Rubber leg were all they would eat. And of course, all fished in the slower water. The water is high and dirty and it is keeping the crowds at home leaving the river void of anglers. Don't let these conditions run you off the water!
