Madison Valley and Yellowstone Winters Snowpack
Our snow started off slow this fall, but once December hit, we got buried in it the entire month. At this point we over 100% of our normal winter snowpack. The forecast says we should receive more this week and with any luck will continue over the next few months. This bodes well for our rivers and fish.
Winter Fly Fishing Report for the Upper Madison River
We’ve been getting a little fly fishing in this winter. MRO guide Jake Schilling has been having some pretty good luck trout spey fishing on the Upper Madison River around the West Fork and Pine Butte areas. Primarily swinging soft hackles and bead head leaches.
Typically, as we approach February, and the water temps warm up a couple of degrees we should begin to see some midge hatches. It can be a lot of fun dry fly fishing with small midges trying to get these risers to eat.
Below are some pictures of the West Fork area that Jake sent us.

Madison River Outfitters Fishing Report 5/8/2025
Hebgen & Quake Lakes: The ice is now officially gone on both Hebgen & Quake. Its been very hit or miss but if you can time it right and get a day with little to no wind, the chironomid fishing has been pretty solid. Streamers have been moving some fish on the less than ideal condition days. Smaller midge nymphs like buzzers and ice cream cones have been the ticket though as of late.

Hebgen: The Lakes are both still fully iced over and will most likely continue to be for some time.
