 Yellowstone Montana Fly Fishing, Madison River
From the lake to the bridge at Highway 87 the river channel is the result of the rapid discharge of impounded waters rapidly loosed by the removal of the natural dam.
This confluence of the two streams is Madison Junction (as is the intersection of the three roads that parallel the rivers.) The river is seductive in its apparently placid flow.
Because the river is under fit to its valley, the gravels of its bottom are poorly sorted and provide a diverse range of sizes in close proximity to one another.

 Blight in the waters: Whirling disease in Montana Montana: The Magazine of Western History - Find Articles
The discovery of whirling disease in Montana came in 1994 when a federal researcher peered into a microscope to find a protozoan, Myxobolus cerebralis, an Old World parasite whose Latin name roughly translates to "lumpy head," in the bones of a wild rainbow trout.
In several areas of the state, the disease is intensifying, and biologists fear a crash in the fish populations such as occurred on the Madison River.
To protect the Missouri River's wild rainbow trout, and especially the big spawning fish, this season the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks tightened fishing regulations to allow anglers to keep only one rainbow, instead of the three allowed in 2001 and five in 1998.
