Guided Fly Fishing Trips on the Madison River, Montana
The famous Madison River, located in Southwestern Montana, is known as the "fifty mile riffle". It seems as if the water between Quake Lake and Ennis lake never changes. You will not find any slow pools, boulders, fallen trees, or tumbling runs. What you will find is a strait wide river characteristic of a long giant riffle. There are no boulders to break currents or changes in the gradient to slow it enough to create a pool. Why is the Madison such a famous river if it does not have a diverse character? For one, the river flows at a steady pace (approximately 5 m.p.h.) making it easier for beginners to be successful. The trout do not get the chance to examine and decide if your fly is a "real" meal. The river is very accessible, easy to wade, and easily drifted just the same. It also has an excellent diverse population of large trout; rainbows, browns, and a few cutthroat and cutt-bows as well.
