Madison  River  And  the  land  of  the  Giants

9/21/2015

0 Comments

 
It's been a busy summer and we are finally moving into fall.  The willows on the banks of the Madison river are starting to change colors and we have seen some of those cold rainy days that we always do in September.  Fishing has been good for the most part.  We have seen good streaks and tough streaks on the Madison.  The numbers are not what they were in the spring but the big fish have started feeding harder.  I don't think that I have ever seen as many gorged fat 18-21 inch rainbow trout on the Madison as I have in the past month.  The girth on some of them is amazing.  We should continue to see plenty of hogs hit the net over the next month or so as the browns become aggressive in preparation for spawning.

The 'land of the giants'  section of the Missouri river is starting to fish really well.  In the past few trips lots of big rainbows have been caught.  The fishing at the land of the giants should only get better through the fall and into the winter.  Now is the time that I start looking for the kokanee salmon to migrate into the river from Holter to spawn.  The rainbows usually stack up thick behind them to eat their eggs.  October and November are my favorite months to fish this river and you never know what you might hook into...true monster browns get caught here every fall.  

Lots of big fish have been caught lately...here are a few that I had a chance to get a photo of:
