The Madison River

The Madison River is flat out legendary.  It's the dream of most flyfishermen to fish this river one day.  It is commonly referred to as the "hundred mile riffle", because of its consistent depth and gradient.  This can be confusing, in forming a plan of attack, but it can also feel that much more incredible to see these fish appear from seemingly nowhere.  This type of water begs to be fished with big dry flies in summer, or sculpins in the fall.  If this is your ideal river experience, than the Madison is for you.
