Just in the last few days we have seen the clouds roll in and the fishing has produced some great reports. Even with the warm sunny conditions before the fishing has been steller. The Madison in the Park keeps on producing and nymphing has been the best option for most with the fish keying in on #6 black and brown rubber legs, #18 black zebra midges, #14 princes, San Juans and #16 red copper johns. If you like to swing soft hackles.. Full Dressed Red Soft Hackle, Gartside Soft Hackle Streamers in yellow and white, shakey beeley's, patridge and orange, full dressed PT's and lucky Bucky's are great choices. Keep your eye out for the Baetis to emerge on cloudy days and in select areas you will find some of these big run-up fish feeding on them. Have a few #20-22 sparkle duns with you as well as a few Baetis foam emergers.
