Wolfe Creek/ Craig where the fishing would be is aabout 3 hours
from where we stayed at the Madison.

Warning: that is a Montana resident driving velocity guesstimation .... if
you drive halfway sane, plan on 4 hours G


Tho chances are you wouldnt want
to go home.... or ever back to the Madison !


The Missouri is most certainly a "must do" fishing destination .... I've
only been there one trip, but plan to go back again this summer for a
couple, three, weeks LOTS of rising fish, biggest pods anywhere I've
ever been, LOTS of big fish if you learn how and where to look, but, LOTS of
people at peak times, LOTS of drift boats, and it ain't exactly pristine
wilderness ... the freeway is the view. Also, I was interested in Mark's
mentioning "lighting" in his TR ... my strongest memory of fishing there is
eyestrain ... there is something about the Prairie lighting that makes even
smooth water look choppy, and those little Tricos impossible to see ...

MY rating of the Mighty Mo as a fishing destination? ( not that anyone gives
a ****?) ... Well, I can easily live the rest of my life and never fish the
Madison below Quake again ... but, I'd feel deprived if I felt I'd never
make it back to the Missouri. near Craig
