Which is the Channels section of the Madison at Valley Gardens just South of Ennis ( no drift boats allowed here) and it is the last place to silt or muddy when there is rain in the valley. There be some BIG fish in here but 'yer gonna work for 'em...
"Below the Highway 287 Access Site, float fishing is not allowed. The current of the river begins to become very slow as well. Of all the places on the Madison River above Ennis Lake, this stretch of the Madison has the least fly fishing pressure, despite its close proximity to town. The relatively low fishing pressure combined with the prohibition on float fishing makes this an ideal place for the wade angler who is in search of large brown trout. Additionally, the Madison River takes on more of a characteristic trout stream look, with vegetation along the banks, some holes and undercut banks. Numerous braids and channels on this section also exist, creating a wide variety of fishing conditions not found elsewhere on the Madison River.
This section of the Madison River probably holds the largest trout of any place on the river, although their numbers per mile are not as dense as found further upstream. While rainbow trout can still be found in decent numbers, brown trout are the dominant trout species on this stretch."

Below Ennis Lake, down in Beartrap Canyon- and they call it Beartrap for a reason. Stop in at the MRFC in Ennis for details.
Both are a short drive over from Twin Bridges and will give you a wonderful opportunity to check out some good wading spots... I love the Channels section...work the small islands on the far side of the river, towards Ennis Lake...
Might be a good idea to tie up some of these...and the pattern "Fishing the Madison in June?" ...heh, heh...
