A day fishing on the famous Madison River in Montana with Jim Morrison, our guide, my friend Steve, and myself, John Delekta, Chairman of the Board at the best fly shop in Montana, Beartooth Flyfishing Shop and Lodge with the hosts Dan and Nancy Delekta. You can tell this is a proud father.
Our float trip was from Ruby Creek to Varney Bridge. Steve was fishing dry flies and I was fishing a two nymph rig. Steve was the first one to catch a good size brown trout. I missed the first two good fish I had on. They were in the 18 to 20 inch range. Jim and I both witnessed the one fish broke my line and the other one jumped and spit the hook. I did better the rest of the trip and landed all the rest. Two of the brown trout I caught were over 19 inches long. Steve and I also caught a bunch of browns and whitefish in the 16″ to 17″ range.
All in all it was another great fishing day on the Madision River.
