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
5-6
There are currently two sections of the Upper Madison open right, one of them being in between Hebgan and Quake Lakes. There are going to be a lot of people up there targeting the rainbows who have moved out of Quake Lake for the spawn, so if you want solitude that would not be your first choice. The stretch from Macatee down to Ennis will be a little less crowded and is fishing quite well, although the caddis are yet to make their appearence.
