With all of our rivers experiencing near flood stage flows, the lower Madison has been one of the best options to fish a river.  Hebgen and Ennis dams usually slows the runoff but this year, Ennis lake is a bit of a mud hole.  The visibility was about a foot when we pulled into warm springs parking lot.  The flows have gone down a bit over there but the mud is still pouring out of the lake.  Fishing was slow but we did manage to pick a few fish up dead drifting streamers with rubber legs or worm droppers.  The fish were in the buckets where the water slowed a bit.  There were hatches of PMD’s as well as caddis coming off but only saw a few rises.  Salmon flies are on the horizon as we saw a handful floating down the river or clinging to the bushes on the banks.  This hatch should bring fish to the top regardless of the water clarity.  Cherry creek is still muddying up the river a bit with a darker mud than what is coming out of the lake so stay above this or work the other side of the river.
