Paradise Valley Spring Creeks
The general trend on the creeks have been midges in the morning, baetis (clouds and weather pending) from 10:00 to 2:00 and midges again in the evening (after 5:00). For Nelson's and Armstrongs the miracle nymph has been working wonders, for DePuy's the copper bead black zebra midge. Also on the lower portion of DePuy's there have been a lot of caddis. Hogan's green caddis pupa, or one of Lafantain's sparkle pupa are working very well. You won't see many caddis above Dick's Pond, so for the upper section you should focus on midges and baetis. Sculpin patterns, spring creek leeches, scuds, mini san juan worms, and eggs are also good flies to have in your box...
Lower Madison
The caddis action on the lower madison is heating up. There are plenty of bugs out there and the fish are finally starting to key in on them. As soon as the Yellowstone is too muddy, this place might see a few boats, although the general opener on May 17th, plus the Bighorn and Missouri should help spread things out a bit. The fish are going to be going nuts on caddis, but even if they aren't, there's always a shot of a big fish on sculpin and crayfish...
