For the last couple of days here in Ennis and the Madison Valley it feels like summertime fly fishing weather.  With temps averaging in the mid to high 70s F it gave us all spring fever or should I say summer fever. The Madison has been fishing steady, we were on it from Varney Bridge [...]

We hit the Lower Madison for an afternoon float.  Kinda of chilly out but still super nice.  When the sun would pop out behind a cloud the Caddis flies would swarm you!  Saw a few rises but with the “Partly Sunny” forecast the flies didn’t stay in flight for very long.  Still a great day [...]

Sam and I hit the Upper Madison River last Saturday, floating from McAtee Bridge down to Varney Bridge.  It turned out to be one of those days you dream about!  We boated 19 fish, a bunch of rainbows and few browns.  Here are a couple of photos from that day. My nice 18″ Buck!   [...]

Enjoying one the few super nice days in Montana’s spring, Letty and I decided to get our roll on and rolled up some sushi!  When you come to NorthShore of the Madison, this is the quality of food to expect!  Visit us and enjoy Western Montana cuisine!

Even though they are calling for a High of 54 F today and it is super sunny and calm out right now, the weather can change at any moment.  Last Friday we had snow like this!  Planning on floating last Friday we decided to hunker down and wait out the storm.  When you come to [...]

Everybody knows Montana winters can be cold and windy.  In this new DieHard. Frozen Lake Revisted commercial you can actually see the wind, snow and ice.  This was shot about a mile down the road from the shoreline of the lake. To bad they screwed up and named it Bozeman, Montana! Good thing that car started!

NorthShore had it season opener on May 13th, 2011 with the Madison River Foundation 2nd Annual Guide Meeting.  NorthShore’s outfitter, Joe Dilschneider, along with NorthShore’s good friend, Mike Lum, manager of Madison River Fishing Company, are both on the Board of Directors of the Foundation.  We were grateful for the opportunity to be able to [...]
