On Your Own Activities: Montana Fishing
World class fishing is one of Montana’s claims to fame. If fishing is on your activity list here are some considerations to help guide your choice sorted by watershed. Fishing excursions are not part of programmed RMA activities, so the following list is provided for your convenience:
Upper Madison River –
Located approximately one hour southwest of Bozeman, the Madison River is classified
as a blue-ribbon trout stream. Along its 120+ miles you can find just about every
trout angling scenario that exists, from smooth water in Yellowstone National Park
to class V rapids in the Bear Trap Canyon. Aside from being the definition of a perfect
trout stream, the Madison River is perhaps equally known for its shallow water, high
concentration of trout and its year-round consistently.

Gallatin River –
Located approximately one hour South of Bozeman, the Gallatin River is a blue-ribbon
river that originates in Yellowstone National Park. In its upper reaches, it flows
through a spectacular alpine environment within the Gallatin Canyon where the fishing
scenes from the movie A River Runs Through It were filmed. After exiting the canyon,
it enters the Gallatin Valley and becomes a meadow river lined with cottonwoods.
