The river is dropping and clearing quickly - especially from Varney and upstream. There is some mud coming in from the tributaries throughout the valley but the water is very "fishable" with streamers and nymphs. A few warm and dry days will get the big bugs crawling around very soon, but get up there and throw some streamers around while the water is still a bit high and slightly off-color!
We offer full day guided fly-fishing trips on the Upper Madison using drift boats, servicing the entire river from Raynold's Pass to Ennis Lake. Learn more about our guided fly-fishing options or book now by clicking on any of the booking buttons throughout the site.
