The Madison is the most heavily fished river the state. Fishing pressure has had a negative effect on the number and quality of fish. Zero regulation on commercial and recreational fishing is accelerating the impact on the fishery.
How much time is spent on waiting for a hatch ? I have seen many of fisherman sit for long periods of time waiting. I prefer to just fish wet flies, nymphs and streamers until I see a hatch if it doesn't come so be it I still fished and did not waste any precious time particularly if you have traveled a distance like flying into Montana . Great video, beautiful country it must have been just awasome to just be there and see it.
Thank you! It was such an amazing experience just to be there. And honestly, I agree with ya. Wet flies are the way to go if the hatch isn’t on. I’d rather be fishing than sitting and watching for bugs.
It’s such great water! We were very surprised at how slow the fishing was that week! Henry’s Fork too, not a single rise in the 3 hours we waited on the bank. I’m definitely wanting to go back to the Henry’s Fork and experience it fully!
@@ParkerOutside Fish the confluence of Warm River and Henrys Fork if you get a chance. You can go upstream and fish Warm river also. Be careful because is pretty far back in the woods and they say Grizzlies drop off the western escarpment of Yellowstone into the area.
Thanks for watching everyone! This was such a fun one to put together!
when the fishing is slow on the Madison, I go early and late. Keeps my enthusiasm up. I do as well as pounding the water all day

Same thing seems to be happening to us in Colorado on the Dream Stream and the Arkansas especially.

I like fishing Hegben.

When I'm there the only thing I have time for is to fish the various pullouts''; for example;e 7 mile for example/
I always catch a bunch of big browns on the Madison when im over there. Its such great water to fish. Henrys Fork is premo water too.

@@westernsoutherner1 that sounds like some take-a-buddy territory! I bet the fishing back there is A1 tho! I’ll keep it in mind for sure!
