Madison River Fishing Report for June 20th, 2018

Dam: 2,510 cfs

Kirby: 2,990 cfs

Varney: 3,710 cfs

NorthWestern Energy had been holding flows back last week in order to fill up Hebgen and with all the rain we received it got to full pool in a hurry.  With a full lake and a lot more water coming into it than they were letting out,  it was time to bring up the flows in a big way and we are back to almost 3,000 cfs at the Kirby Gauge.  Nobody knows when they will start to bring the water down, but our best guess is that it will start to drop over the weekend.

Madison River Fishing Report for June 2nd, 2018

Dam: 2,340 cfs

Kirby: 3,070 cfs

Varney: 4,550 cfs

The Upper Madison continues to hold its own in some of the biggest water we’ve seen in the last seven years.  Most of the river is blown out a mile or so below Lyon’s Bridge, and while you can certainly catch some fish in the channels around Ennis as we would still recommend heading up river and targeting the wade section between Quake and Lyon’s.  The flush that was planned to last three days turned into week due to all the water coming into the lake, but it looks like they might be slowly starting to drop the flows out of Hebgen over the course of the next week or two.  That said, we are still going to have a bunch of water for the remainder of the month but I doubt it will get back to 3,500 at Kirby again.  Visibility has improved over the weekend, and we are now sitting at 18″ above the West Fork.
