Madison River Fishing Report
This Madison River fishing report is from July 22 until about Labor Day.
Lower Madison Report
On a full closure immediately below Ennis Dam and a 2:00 closure for the remainder of its run to the Jefferson confluence at Three Forks. Effectively unfishable due to these closures and intense crowds of tubers, kayakers, drunks, etc. Best go elsewhere unless you want to ogle bikini-clad tubers instead of fishing.
Upper Madison Report
We haven’t actually been up there lately and probably won’t unless the Stillwater and/or Yellowstone blow out and we’re sweating for someplace to take upcoming float clients. Why drive 2+ hours when we have great fishing much closer? For up-to-date reports, we suggest talking to Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone or Beartooth Angler in Cameron. The shops in Ennis are probably great too; we just don’t know anybody in them personally.
