Madison River Montana Fly Fishing Beginning of September

[wiscohunter123]

Not sure if can post this here, but this year as i didn't pull any tags i am going to Montana with my gf for 4 days and we are looking to do some fly fishing/site seeing, and things like that. We really dont care if we catch anything but obviously would like to but more interested in good views and the experience. We are looking at the Madison River as we are camping by Bozeman. Can anyone give us any tips/starting locations on the Madison or any other places we should check out while in that area. Doesn't necessarily have to be for fly fishing either.

The Gravelly Range on west side of the Madison River has excellent car camping and scenic driving in September. Also 4 wheeling if that's your thing. The Madison Range to the east of the Madison River has excellent hiking and backpacking if that's your thing. It's largely Wilderness. Either way, bring bear spray. Have a blast!

I'd check on local conditions. Rivers seem really low and warm this year.

Red Lodge area is beautiful and you can drive a loop through the Beartooth Highway into Yellowstone and back to Bozeman that's really cool.
