| Yellowstone Montana Fly Fishing, Madison River (2557 words) |
| 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. |
