When planning your trip to Madison Valley Ranch, remember that we’re well-stocked with all the latest fly fishing gear from leading brands like Orvis. However, we also appreciate that many guests prefer to bring their own equipment, ranging from rods and waders to packs and fly tying equipment. Whatever your preference, ensure that you’re well-equipped to comfortably handle Montana’s ever-changing weather and fishing conditions.
Clothing-wise, the variable weather here in SW Montana requires thoughtful packing. A mantra here is “If you don’t like the weather, just wait 20 minutes.” Therefore, correct layering and fabric selection can keep you comfortable in any situation. Don’t forget to protect your head, as hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun shields are crucial when you’re out on the river. Waders are optional, but we recommend bringing a solid fly pack if you plan to wade fish.
Fly fishing gear preferences differ from angler to angler. Some prefer an arsenal of gear, while others opt for minimalism. Feel free to bring whatever you deem necessary for a successful day on the water. Remember, Ennis, Montana is a central hub for fly fishing, so local shops are on hand if you need anything.
Packing flies for the Madison River can be a challenge, given the myriad of patterns available. Our pro shop, along with local fly shops in Ennis, can guide you in selecting the right size and color based on the river’s current mood.
When traveling with fly fishing gear, it’s advisable to carry on your crucial equipment such as rods, reels, lines, and flies, while checking in the rest. This ensures that you won’t be left stranded should the airline misplace your luggage.
Above all, remember that we pride ourselves on providing everything you need for a successful day on the water. You’re welcome to travel light and take advantage of our gear and fully-stocked fly shop. All you really need is appropriate clothing, polarized glasses, and a hat – but don’t worry if you forget anything. We’ve got you covered!
