Ruby Creek BLM – Madison River, Mt – Thursday May 14, 2026

Got out and did some fishing today, did have a single bite.

It was really windy last night, had to have both slides in all evening and all night. Today was not as strong but did make fishing a challenge keeping the fly out of the brush.

The coach generator quit running the other day and I think it’s the fuel pump. Was able to order one from Amazon and have it shipped to the local furniture store / UPS drop off. It came in today and I’ll install it tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures from today.

This eagle was flying up and down the river for a while this afternoon. You can barely see it in the center of the second picture.

I am going to take my first river float trip next Thursday. The weather is supposed to cool off a bit and the river should clear up by Thursday. Looking forward to it.
