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 …
Madison River Dam: 963 cfs Kirby: 1,110 cfs Varney: 1,370 cfs It’s been a warm and windy week here on the Madison, and fishing has been day to day below McAtee. We did a streamer float from Varney to Town yesterday (yes, the Ennis take out is open), and caught 6 nice fish including a …
Madison River Dam: 1,110 cfs Kirby: 1,190 cfs Winter fishing continues to produce good numbers of fish on the Madison, and from the looks of things, quite a few of you have figured this out…Either way, there are still miles and miles of river to explore. Nymph fishing continues to be excellent with small $3 …
Madison River Dam: 1,170 cfs Kirby: 1,270 cfs Although streamer fishing is still a good bet right now, every day that passes brings us closer and closer to winter fishing (basically what we consider unproductive streamer fishing). We fished between the lakes for about 4 hours yesterday, and there were actually a few people out …
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 …
We are making way for new inventory, and are offering this great deal while supplies last. We have 3 remaining 2.0 models left and only one more 3.5…get ’em before they’re gone!
Madison River Dam: 1,270 cfs Kirby: 1,360 cfs PPL increased the flow out of the dam a few days ago, and we are seeing water temps drop a degree as a result– you have to remember that water is still coming off the top of the dam. More water + lower temps+ mid-november should equate …
