Madison River Fishing Report 3-16-18

By John Way
/ 16th March 2018

The Madison River has been fishing well this week. We have experienced some great floating opportunities from Varney bridge to Town. Midges and worms seem to be the staples for the fishes diet right now but Skwalla nymphs and Blue wing olive patterns are also starting to get some action. With the return of some colder days this weekend I would concentrate fishing to the afternoon when water temps are at their highest. We have seen some good midge hatches but not a lot of fish looking up. The best dry fly action still remains around the Reynolds Pass area and below Ennis Lake. Between the lakes still remains very snowy but if you can make the trek in the fishing has been pretty good.
