Madison River Fishing Report

This Madison River fishing report is from mid-March through early April.

Lower Madison: A good option due to the fairly warm water. Look for BWO and midge hatches after lunch, though the best fishing will be subsurface. In the few deep runs, we will be nymphing with crayfish, eggs, and San Juan Worms, either in conjunction with each other or with a midge pupa, “pink junk,” or BWO nymph on the dropper. Elsewhere, we’ll prone to swinging streamers this time of year. It’s not a bad idea to break out a trout spey rod here.

Upper Madison: No recent reports. Check with shops in Ennis or West Yellowstone.
