The Upper Madison
Known as the 60 mile riffle, the world famous Upper Madison is a large shallow rocky river originating in Yellowstone Park and flowing through Hebgen and Quake lakes then north to the town of Ennis.

Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
02-03-10 I don't have a great report from the Upper Madison lately although the fishing in and around the Slide-Inn should be good right now. Remember that the upper sections of the river will close for a few months starting at the end of February.
