returned to the channels today, around 8 am. the tricos started shortly afterwards, and the fish were looking up for about two hours. landed lots of 10-12 inch rainbows, and a few in the teens.
after the hatch stopped, fished buggers underneath, and landed a 25″ brown, probably the largest trout i’ve caught on the Madison. he was fat, and wouldn’t fit into my net, so no picture!
