Madison River Fishing Report for June 25th, 2017

Dam: 1,300 cfs

Kirby: 1,800 cfs

Varney: 2,280 cfs

Madison River fishing report.  The Upper Madison is in full swing and the river is literally exploding with insect activity.  You’ll find good numbers of salmonflies and golden stones from Palisades all the way down to Cameron Flats, and it shouldn’t be long before they start to make their presence known in the wade section between Quake Lake and Lyon’s Bridge.  Our guess is that they should be up here by the first or second of July and they should hang around for at least a week or two.  The hatch is definitely more concentrated in certain sections, but you’ll find plenty of nymphs still staged up along the banks even in the high density areas, so we are still in store for more amazing dry fly fishing in the weeks to come.

Madison River Fishing Report for June 18th, 2017

Dam: 1,610 cfs

Kirby: 2,190 cfs

Varney: 2,840 cfs

Madison River fishing report.  The Upper Madison is still running at over 2,000 cfs above the West Fork and just under 3,000 cfs at Varney but it’s in great shape and fishing well.  Visibility has improved to around 3.5-4 ft and green, and with the forecast calling for fairly sunny skies and warmer nights, my guess is that we should start to see a drop in flows here soon.

Madison River Fishing Report for June 8th, 2017

Dam: 1,440 cfs

Kirby: 2,520 cfs

Madison River fishing report.  The fishing on the Upper Madison continues to hold its own, and the nymph and streamer fishing has been excellent throughout the wade section between Quake and Lyon’s Bridge.  Flows have been hovering between 2,400-2,600 cfs above the West Fork for the last week or so, and it could very easily go up even higher depending on how much precipitation we get over the next five days.  Visibility remains at roughly 8″ and green.
