Fishing Montana's Gem: Euro Nymphing the MADISON RIVER

Montana's Madison River is a must for any fly angler. The fly fishing is truly epic...from the unbelievable dry fly fishing to the streamer fishing. But when it comes to euro nymphing, it seems almost made for it, from the pocket water to the fast, heavy runs. This type of water is where euro nymphing excels, and there is no better place than Madison. You get your bugs down into the zone and there seems to be willing fish everywhere. Unbelievably powerful Brown trout, Rainbows, and Cuttbows are ready to test your fish-fighting capabilities in the heavy current.

Join me as I fish the Madison River in July. I show you some snippets of what my days were like out there. Every day was full of non-stop action. The winning flies were a size 14 Jack Daniel's, a size 12 Stone Pony, and a size 20 France Midge (in olive or black). Most of the time I had a 3.3mm bead on the bottom and when the wind would kick up I would move to a 3.8mm bead.

The Madison needs to be on every fly fisherman's bucket list. It is truly Montana's Gem and Euro Nymphing Heaven!

I hope you enjoy it. Tight lines!
