I call it Fishing Heaven; and, if you hit the Gallatin River this week, then you'll know why. The Gallatin will be the perfect combination of spectacular scenery and blue ribbon fishing...You'll be hard pressed to find anything better, this time of year. Enjoy! :)
We have been wetter than usual this year; so, fly fishing on the Gallatin River has been delayed by about one week this year. Yesterday, I hit the river for the first time this summer; and, man was it worth it. I fished a section entirely new to me; and, within the span of an hour I had landed four beauties between 16 and 20 inches. You gotta love 'Fishing Heaven.' Get out and enjoy! :)
At Ruby Creek, camp and wake up along the Madison River. Wading along this stretch of the Madison River is challenging; but, there are few sweet pockets of water that not even the boats are hitting. Enjoy another summer day in southwest Montana! :)
Schusters Place is another in a long list of places that a wade fly fisherman can go on the Madison River. With camping and dining just minutes away, this may be your first stop in your exploration of the Madison River and Trout Country. :)
Head to Ghost Village for a sunny day of fly fishing and perhaps a mid-day excursion to an historical monument. The Earthquake Lake Visitor Center is nearby and will provide you with the answer to why this beautiful section of the Madison River is called Ghost Village. Enjoy! :)
