Lower Madison River - Spring Fly Box

Fish the Lower Madison like you know it — because now you do. The Lower Madison River Spring Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Lower Madison from April through early June. Spring on the Lower Madison means big water pushing through the Bear Trap Canyon. Fish hold in the slower pockets behind large boulders and in the back eddies, responding well to heavy nymph rigs. This box is built around the Lower Madison's spring hatch calendar — midges, BWOs, and skwala stoneflies. Every fly was chosen with deep nymphing in pocket water and back eddies in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year. What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering heavy stonefly nymphs, midge patterns, BWO emergers, and skwala dries. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season. Pro tip from the water: The skwala hatch on the Lower Madison below Ennis is one of the earliest dry fly events of the Montana season — watch for it in late March and April on warmer afternoons. Whether you're making your first trip to the Lower Madison or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop. Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
