Quick Conditions Check - Lower Madison
« on: March 19, 2023, 07:43:12 AM »
With the roads dry and an extra hour of light in the evening, I took a quick drive down to the Lower Madison the other day.

Looks great and highly fishable (you should be able to play this as a video):

It's a good fishery. Mostly brown and rainbow trout in this section. The Upper, coming out of the Park, has more cutthroat and other species, like arctic grayling, etc.

That looks gorgeous Mike!  The last time I was up in those parts I was fishing the Clark-Fork River and the trout fishing was insane! Pike Minnows, Pike, Rainbows, Cutthroat, and whitefish were the common one's we caught there. 
I hope you post some catches when you finally get out and start whipping around the fly rod on the shores this spring.  I could use some fresh mountain air fishing posts.  8)

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Thanks, Tom! I have yet to fish the Clark Fork but have driven over it many times. I've fished Rock Creek, a Clark Fork tributary, and it was excellent!

I'm going to make an effort to fish more this year. My outings went way down after a back injury, but I think I have things under control enough to flick flies on a more consistent basis. Will post some reports!

Thank you, Tim. I need to remind myself of that more often.

It is! I suspect you'll be getting out on Priest River or  Pend Oreille soon?
