Day 2: Cast a Line Along the Madison River
The second day of your fishing journey to Yellowstone is a chance to get out and spend time angling at your own preferred pace. This is typically best done along the scenic Madison River. Here, there are a multitude of destinations where fishing can be enjoyed either from the shoreline or out on the water from a fishing boat. The Madison River is one of the top-rated fishing destinations in West Yellowstone and while certain areas are closed seasonally, it’s overall easy to access off of Highway 287.
The stretch between Quake Lake and Hebgen Lake is particularly popular year-round and includes impressive groups of anglers even in the wintertime. July is the time to fish the Madison River when you want to be a part of the annual salmon fly hatch with a focus on the Upper Madison often delivering the most successful results. The Bear Trap Canyon Wilderness Area along the Madison River is another great place to set aside time to cast a line and enjoy the surrounding views.
