    Is it a Guided float? If so the guide will supply the fly's and won't let you use yours.

    Late July on the Madison, I'd be sure to have some hoppers; beetles, ants, too. PMDs should be around, so have your favorite emergers and adults ready; epeorus, especially up higher, although that's more of a late evening hatch. I'd bring rusty spinners #16-18 to cover both bugs; had some luck fishing them late afternoon before the spinner fall even got started. If you were fishing early morning and/or later into the evening, caddis (emergers, adults, spent and egg laying). Depending where you are on the river, spruce moths may be showing by then, although that may be a bit early; can't hurt to have some. Have fun, catch a bunch.

    Regards,
    Scott
