Fly fishing the upper Madison River near 'Ghost Village' lands you in the heart of Trout Country. Using photos integrated with a Google Map, explore this stretch of river and the entire Madison River in southwest Montana, today!
As a fly fisherman, I have many reasons for identifying the Madison River as Trout Country; but, firstly, and for the most obvious reason, it is Trout Country to me because I have caught my largest fish on the Madison. Along all stretches of the river, from the ‘upper Maddie’ to the ‘lower’, I never know where that next big whopper is going to be pulled from.
For the past two years, I have made the unusual call of fly fishing the upper Madison River in March. I am glad I did. Some of the largest trout of the year are caught in the dead of Winter.
