Madison River Spring Fly Fishing
The upper walk/wade sections of the Madison River have been steadily producing great fishing. We have been able to float near Ennis and fish from the boat during gaps in the snowmelt but overall wading has been the best way to catch fish on the Madison. Nymphing has been most productive but dry fly and streamer fishing have been good options at times.
This spring has served as a great example of how well the Madison River can fish under even the highest water conditions. On plenty of occasions the higher water levels seemed to make our fishing better. Now that flows seem to have peaked, we are looking forward to plenty of cool water for the summer and the Madison river salmon fly hatch bering just around the corner.
