Guided Fly Fishing Trips - Madison River

The Madison River originates in Yellowstone National Park and flows nearly 150 miles before joining the headwaters of the Missouri river. The Madison river is divided into the upper stretch and lower stretch each of which seems to be completely different waters. Both the Upper Madison and Lower Madison are some of Montana’s premier wild trout rivers and it has been classified as a "Blue Ribbon" trout stream. Every foot of the river is capable of producing rainbow and brown trout eager to rise to a dry fly or grab a drifting nymph.

The Upper Madison river has been nicknamed the "50 Mile Riffle" due to its fast flowing but relatively shallow and boulder strewn bottom. The float fishing is recommended as the casual wader might find out what wading on greased bowling balls might be like. In addition to great fishing, a float trip offers anglers spectacular views throughout the Valley. Whether you are a novice or advanced angler,our guided float trips are simply a very enjoyable way to fish the Madison River.

The Lower Madison river has arguably the largest about of biomass in the state. The river gets shallow and warm below the Ennis Lake dam, but yet these wild trout have adapted to be as tough as any in the state of Montana. We consistently catch our largest trout of the year on this piece of water. While most of our fishing on the Lower Madison is done with larger nymphs and streamers there are many opportunities for the dry fly fisher as well.
