Madison River Dam: 1,110 cfs Kirby: 1,390 cfs Varney: 1,870 cfs After a weekend filled with snow showers, another streak of warm temps have begun in and around SW Montana. It looks like more rain is on the way tomorrow, but the forecast is calling for 60-70 degree highs for the rest of the week. …
Madison River Dam: 1,160 cfs Kirby: 1,890 cfs Varney: 2,930 cfs After a few gully washers earlier in the week, the creeks are on the rise and the chocolate milk has begun to flow. Both Cabin and Beaver Creeks are putting a good deal of mud into Quake, and the lake itself is already olive-brown …
Madison River Dam: 1,260 cfs Kirby: 1,320 cfs Varney: 1,610 cfs It has certainly been a pleasant April around here, as Spring-like temperatures (or just playing Spring) continue to grace the valleys of Southwest Montana. We’ve been spending some time on the Big Hole over the last week, and had some great streamer action throughout …

Kelly and I just got back from a little three day trip, and while we took a lot more pictures…they just pale in comparison to this one. This 32″ Rainbow ate a Black Sex Dungeon right before dark, and was safely released.
Feels like Winter out there (probably because it is), but there is still plenty of good fishing and miles of solitude to be had. We are still fishing streamers with success in the wade section and between the lakes, but the fish are definitely a little more sluggish this week in response to colder water temperatures.
Madison River Dam: 1,250 cfs Kirby: 1,330 cfs Yup, it’s winter out there. Water temps between the lakes continue to drop, and its currently holding at around 42.5 degrees. You’ll find a little warmer water around the West Fork at mid-day, but only by a degree or two. What does this mean for the streamer …
