MY FAVORITE DRY FLY RODS..
THE SAGE FLi/LAUNCH RODS…THE 590-4 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES…VERY VERSATILE…I USE IT ON THE FLATS, DRY FLY UP/DROPPER DOWN, AFFORDABLE, EASY TO CAST.
THE HARDY ZENITH SINTRIX ROD…9′ 5WT. 4 PIECE ROD…ONE IF THE SWEETEST RODS I HAVE CASTED AND CAN BE USED FOR DRY OR WET FLY FISHING…LOADS EASY…THIS ROD IS GREAT!
I HAVE TWO WINSTONS I LOVE TO FISH…ONE IS A 9′- 6wt GLENN BRACKETT MADE UP FOR ME…HE CUSTOM FIT THE GRIP TO MY HAND…I CAN CAST IT ALL DAY WITH EASE. I LIKE THE 6wt FOR BIGGER DRIES AND WINDY CONDITIONS.
Tom Morgan
MY NUMBER ONE DRY FLY ROD IS A WINSTON IM6 8′ 3wt TOM MORGAN MADE UP FOR ME. TOM DEFLECTED SEVERAL BLANKS ON THE FLEX CHART AND CAME UP WITH A “3 1/2 wt” THAT CASTS LIKE A DREAM. I WAS LUCKY TO CATCH A BEAUTIFUL 23″ RAINBOW WITH THIS ROD ON THE RED ROCK RIVER ABOVE CLARK CANYON WHILE FISHING WITH VADNEY MURRAY. THE LITTLE 3wt. HANDLED IT! AND I HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN WITH IT ON SMALLER STREAMS LIKE JACK CK. AND INDIAN CK.
Keep it simple…chart your course…walk the earth.

At The Madison Flyfisher we offer the total fly fishing experience: guides, flies, float trips, walk and wade trips, casting instruction, stream knowledge and great fun! We offer the best fly fishing for the novice, intermediate or advanced angler and can accommodate families, couples, singles or large groups.

Hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, golf, mountain biking and many other outdoor activities are right here in our back yard.
“Fly fishing is a lifetime labor of love for me. Throughout the years I have guided anglers from all walks of life…experts and beginners, men and women, young and young-at-heart. After fishing with me, if you have gained a love for the river, respect for the trout and an appreciation of our beautiful Madison Valley, then I have accomplished something good”…Randy Brown…Ennis, Montana
