   The Madison River is famous…lots has been written about it…it starts in Yellowstone Park where the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers come together and flows all the way to the Missouri River. It’s wide and shallow and swift and slippery. We have a whole bunch of trout; small, medium and large. It’s a great river for beginning flyfishers or experts and just about anybody can catch fish here.trout_pic

   I use Clackacraft drift boats. I’ve tried them all and Clacka is the top dog. We usually float 8-10 miles a day. Sometimes we get out and wade. Lunch is always fun because I get to do two things I’m good at: eating and talking. We use dry flies and wet flies, whatever works best. You don’t have to cast very far but you need to get a good drift. When the trout see the fly jet-skiing through the water they dial 911 and head for cover! A lot of times I will stop and fish one of my secret spots. When this happens I become suspicious and paranoid that someone will see me. You can tell when this happens because I twitch around a lot.

   The float trips are a lot of fun. But there are other ways to fish the Madison as you will discover sooner or later.
