Madison River Fishing Report for November 27th, 2018

Dam: 1,010 cfs

Kirby: 1,100 cfs

Varney: 1,170 cfs

Winter has arrived in the Madison Valley, and we are seeing some much colder day and nighttime temperatures with a decent amount of snow starting to fly. Not that 20 degrees is all that bad, but throw some 10-20 mph winds in the mix and you’ll definitely start to feel it. You’ll find a little warmer sanctuary by Ennis, but the lower river is getting a little chunky with ice flows down toward town. All that being said, colder weather tends to keep the crowds down so you’ll have no problem finding some prime water out there and the fishing has remained pretty good.

Madison River Fishing Report for November 9th, 2018

Dam: 921 cfs

Kirby: 1,040 cfs

Varney: 1,050 cfs

Winter has started to settle in over the last week, with nighttime lows dropping into the 9-10 degree range. We are still looking at highs in the low 30’s for the time being, but it looks like we should start to get back into the low 40’s by next week. Crowds have just about disappeared, with a good percentage of folks looking to fill their freezer before hunting season ends on the 25th, and the fishing has actually been very good this November.
