SUMMARY:Madison River Aquatic Insect Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are needed March 3rd-6th to help The Salmonfly Project perform aquatic insect surveys on the Madison River.  No previous scientific experience is required – only the ability to wade confidently in cold\, knee-deep water while carrying nets/supplies. \nData collection is part of SFP’s two-year study to track how aquatic insect diversity\, abundance\, and ecosystem integrity have changed on the Madison River over the last 50 years. \nTimeframe: Volunteers are needed from 10:00am-5:00pm each day. A minimum volunteer-time of 4 hours is required to allow sufficient time for training\, but its preferred for volunteers to stay for an entire day\, if possible. Volunteers are also being gathered from local fly shops and Trout Unlimited Chapters \nWhat you’ll need: Please bring your own waders\, boots\, and other basic supplies (e.g.\, food\, water\, etc.). \nWhere to meet: Meeting locations will be coordinated via email or text\, but will occur at one of five sampling sites: 1) Three Forks\, 2) Norris Campground\, 3) Beartrap Canyon Boat Ramp\, 4) Ennis Fishing Access\, or 5) Varney Bridge. \nIntersted? Sign up for a specific day and time via our Google Sign Up Sheet. \nQuestions? Reach out to The Salmonfly Project at conservation@salmonflyproject.org.

SUMMARY:Bug Fest 2026
DESCRIPTION:Bug Fest \nFly Angler’s Entomology Education Event \nHosted by The Salmonfly Project \nAt Three Dollar Bridge\, Madison River\, MT \nJul 25\, 2026 \nAwareness of aquatic insect hatches\, identification\, and ecology has declined as modern fly fishing trends shift away from “matching the hatch.” At the same time\, aquatic insects across the Rocky Mountain West are in measurable decline—threatening the trout populations\, fisheries\, and economies that depend on them. Bug Fest is designed to address this issue by reconnecting the angling public with the foundation of our sport – the bugs. In this hands-on event\, participants will learn from professional entomologists from The Salmonfly Project about the aquatic insects that sustain the world-class Madison River. Learning will focus on basic insect identification and on the differences in life stages and behaviors among major hatches. Ultimately\, the event aims to help participants to become better anglers and stewards of their local waters.  \nEvent Activities: \nBug Fest will have four major educational activities\, each focusing on a different aspect of the insect life cycle. Activities will run simultaneously and repeatedly for approximately 45 minutes each throughout the event\, allowing participants to choose the duration and focus of their learning experience. Activities will include: \n  \n\nNymph Station: Participants will collect\, sort\, and identify aquatic insect nymphs while learning about their ecology\, emergence timing\, and behaviors that make them accessible to trout. \nDrifter/Emerger Station: Participants will sample drifting nymphs and those in mid-emergence\, and how drift and emergence influence trout feeding behavior.\nAdult Station: Participants will collect and identify adult insects and learn to read river clues to better select fly patterns and effectively match the hatch.\nFly Tying Clinics: Local fishing and fly-tying legends like Craig Mathews\, Rick Wollum\, and Kelly Galloup will tie hatch-specific patterns to help inform anglers’ fly selection.\n\nPartner Participation: \nBrands and businesses are invited to attend the event to show commitment and solidarity toward aquatic insect conservation and education. While product display and tabling are not encouraged at Bug Fest\, brands may showcase select items that are relevant to ‘matching the hatch’.  \nLead Brand Partners: Patagonia  |   Lead Flyshop Partner: Big Sky Anglers \nOther Brands invited: Montana Fly Company\, Hardy\, Rep your Water\, Skwala\,  \nOther Flyshops invited: The Slide Inn\, Trout Hunters\, Madison River Fishing Company\, Yellow Dog Fly Shop\, & Blue Ribbon  \nConservation Groups invited: Madison River Foundation\, Lillard Flyfishing School\, Montana Fish\, Wildlife & Parks\, NorthWestern Energy\, Trout Unlimited
