Madison River Fishing Report for September 11th, 2019

Dam: 1,090 cfs

Kirby: 1,110 cfs

Varney: 1,230 cfs

After a warm and sun filled August that brought with it some of the most incredible hopper fishing the Madison has seen in decades, the weather finally took a turn a few days ago to remind us that Fall is just around the corner. The mountains received their first dose of snow since the summer solstice yesterday morning, and the landscape has started to absorb the scents and colors synonymous with Autumn in the Greater Yellowstone Region. It truly is our favorite time of year, and we know that rings true for many of you out there as well.

Varney: 1,170 cfs

The Upper Madison has been spectacular over the last several weeks, and we can’t say enough about the quality of the dry fly fishing this year. Most of us doubted that we could have another hopper season that could compare with what we saw in 2018, but I think its safe to say that this August was even better. We should continue to have good terrestrial fishing for a couple more weeks as long as the temperatures hold, and it looks like we are in store for a little cooling trend in the next few days. Otherwise flows are still above average for this time of year, and the entire river is fishing well, so definitely get out this way if the opportunity presents itself.
