Category: Madison River

I got my first fish today a small brown from the middle of the river. I was standing on the bank casting out into the river enjoying the lack of wind and go a small brown.

The afternoons are quite warm mid 90’s and the river temp is 65 degrees in the afternoon so I got to wade wet for the last couple of days. Don’t know how long this will last but it is nice for now.

Fishing has been slow:
Tuesday – I got nothing
Wednesday – just to windy to fly fish
Today – I actually got one fish hooked, he got off. The water is a lot lower this time of year and I can actually wade out into the river. The days have been sunny and warm.

Our current plan is to be here for a couple of weeks and then move down river 8 miles to Ruby Creek BLM Campground for a couple of weeks.

We are in site 2 and our cell service is bad, better then last year where we only had text. We sometimes get a little internet in the morning.

We are close to the river and sites are spaced out, have been here many times before.

401 miles today to Palisades BLM Campground right on the Madison River.  We are in site 2 and will be here for 2 weeks of fishing and sunshine.
