When you mentioned the Madison, I had visions in my head of fishing a stretch a couple of years ago.
The wind was howling so bad that a drift boat was rowing DOWN STREAM!
I had a big stonefly dry and a small black haresear dropper. I did have nice 10' rod so, standing under the bridge to block the wind, I cast out to the middle about 50' to a huge rock sitting there. I watched as the big stone swirled around the floated behind the rock in which is then disappeared.
I thought, what the heck happened?! I began to strip the line and felt resistance. I thought I had hooked a rock, but THEN, the rock began to move up stream. I started yelling for help, but as it were, I was in Tan waders and an Olive wading jacket and I blended right in with the shore line. Finally, my hubby saw the small portion of the navy blue stocking cap I had on with the NY in white. Anyway, got the fish to the rock and released a beautiful 26" brown.
Of the subject a bit but a nice memory.
There are portions of the snake that you could cast to the backing to hit the middle of the river.
