Southwestern Montana

The Madison River downstream from Reynolds Junction offers good fishing that should continue until cold weather arrives. Nymphing and presenting streamers are effective for action. Daytime hours are best, so begin fishing around noon.

It is best to fish the river between Quake and Hebgen Lakes at the lower end. This minimizes interfering with spawning brown trout concentrating at the upper end. Streamer fishing is the name of the game, and you will plenty of company doing so.
