The
Lower Madison
Starting
below Ennis Reservoir and running north for approximately 35 miles to
its confluence with the Missouri, the lower Madison provides both excellent
wading and floating opportunities.
Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
5-6
As of right now, the lower Madison will be your best shot at clear water. Beatis have been coming off thick mid-day with caddis following in the evenings making for some potentially great dry fly activity. Keep your eyes peeled for surface activity as the rises may be subtle for the beatis, with more splashy rises at the caddis.
