115,000 Anglers on Madison River

“The upper Madison River from Ennis Lake to Hebgen Lake took over last year as the most heavily fished water in the state. More than 115,000 anglers dipped a line in that reach of the Madison between March 2003 and February 2004, according to a Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks report.” That’s a large amount of felt hitting river rock.
