The flows at the Ennis Powerhouse are 1160 C.F.S. It doesn't appear that they have started the pulse flowing that normally comes along with the heat of summer. It would expect to see some pulses of water in the river soon. As of 8 am this morning the water temp on the lower river was at 73 degrees which is much too warm for anglers to safely pratice catch and release fishing. Please respect the great resource that we have in the lower madison river and let the fish have the best chance at getting through this tough period on the lower river. If you see anglers on the river please do not hesitate to try and inform them of the situation with the lower madison and ask them to please fish elsewhere.
Fly Pattern Suggestions : Great Bikini Hatch on warm afternoons.
