November 1st- 17th, 2024 | Upper Madison River Fishing Report

Well, we have ended another awesome Season with some epic Fishing and even more epic tales! Here at Beartooth Flyfishing we are all so thankful for our Community, our awesome Customers and for all the Guides and Trout addicts that perpetuate and elevate our lifestyle for generations to come! We have had a great year, and it wouldn’t be possible without all these people. Thank You and can’t wait to see you next Season!

The weather the first part of November has been the last breath of Fall and the long sigh of Winter. Brown Trout have begun their annual spawn and the hatches have all but dwindled to the smallest bugs. However, Streamers and Nymph action are still hot if you find yourself in the right part of the River at the right time! Action has been best right out the gate mid-morning and during the heat of the day into late afternoon. Regular Fly changes and really working better holes have been quite productive and have produced larger Trout.

As we move forward into the Winter Season we can return to our favorite deep slow runs and fishing Nymphs, the meatier the better. The Trout need big snacks as Winter approaches. Winter fishing on warmer days can be epic, 2 hours of Fishing in one to two holes can produce 20-30 Fish (or more!) and you have the River to yourself. Here at Beartooth Flyfishing we have moved to our winter hours, we are open Tuesday-Saturday 9:00am to 5:00pm. If you need gear and are looking for Christmas Gifts come on in, we have a lot of new markdowns and will be having an awesome Black Friday special. Please see our newsletter, coming soon, or call the shop and we will fill you in on the details!
