Madison River Fishing Map – Montana

Fish smarter, not harder.

This detailed Madison River Fishing Map was created by local anglers who know the river firsthand—because they’ve spent decades fishing, floating, and exploring one of Montana’s most famous and productive trout rivers.

Covering the Madison River from Quake Lake downstream through Ennis and Beartrap Canyon to Three Forks, this map clearly shows where you can legally access and fish the river across its most iconic stretches. From broad riffles and classic float water near Ennis to the rugged, confined reaches of Beartrap Canyon, public lands and access points are presented in a clean, easy-to-read format designed for real use on the water.

What’s Included:

• Clearly marked public lands, including federal, state, county, and city ownership

• Public fishing access points along the Madison River

• River miles, bridges, and key reference points

• Trails and walk-in access areas

• Parking locations not found on other maps, identified through local knowledge

• High-resolution cartography designed for outdoor navigation and trip planning

Why Anglers Love It:

Unlike generic fishing maps, this map focuses on access areas and land-ownership clarity, so you know exactly where you’re allowed to be—without confusion, clutter, or guesswork. The added parking data makes it easier to plan floats, access wade water, and navigate popular stretches near Ennis as well as more remote sections through Beartrap Canyon.

Available Formats:

• Folded Paper Map – 15x12" unfolded, 3x6" folded pocket guide, ideal for fly shops, travel, and glove boxes
