We've already determined that the batchelor party will be in Montana
in June during the salmonfly hatch on the Madison. *Who cares when the

That's cool !


I can't remember it you have actively chased the Salmon Flies before? * Come
prepared to actually catch most of your fish on caddis and other patterns,
unless you are very lucky. * *IME, all the 'big name, big bug' hatches tend
to be 89% hype/ social affair *and 11% reality as great fishing
opportunities, but June is ( not last year, but most years ) a wonderful
time to be in Greater Yellowstone area chasing trout *... enjoy


my experience has been that the hatch around the madison begins in
july... no?
