ROYAL COACHMAN BOMBER

.. The Bacon Rind Fire has been knocked down by cool weather and some light rain. It is currently being monitored by interagency fire teams.
.. The Madison River has cooled down to the point that fish are, once again, becoming willing dance partners.
.. Early morning spinner falls, (the likes of which we haven't seen in a few years,) are sucking fish to the surface.

SURFACE STREAMER - RED FOX RUNNER

.. Late afternoon caddis are making their appearance on the bright smoky days.
.. Catching in the dark, (until sundown,) has been productive near undercut banks with large splashy surface flies. Keep them on the top and rapidly strip downstream for best success.
.. If you keep the rod between your legs while rapidly stripping with both hands - be sure that your knees are tightly locked together - wham, bam, . . .
