We can’t just work all the time and this year my husband and I took a vacation to Madison Valley Ranch in Ennis, Montana. This was our second year visiting and will now turn into an annual visit. The staff at the Ranch make you feel like family, the executive Chef, Matt, prepares the most delicious meals, the guides that take you drift boat fishing on the Madison River are incredible and the ranch is beautiful. The accommodations are lovely and there is a Moose with her family who frequent the property with plenty of deer, sandhill cranes and more. While fishing you will certainly see beautiful scenery but you may even see a bear, moose, deer, bald eagle, golden eagle, osprey and others.
We can’t say enough about this beautiful place. Below is a picture of my husband catching a 21 inch Brown Trout. Our guide (his name is River) said he had not seen anyone catch a fish that large on a dry fly. I caught an 18 inch Rainbow Trout. Both were caught with a Grasshopper fly. The grasshoppers were hatching so there were many of them around that the fish were biting on including ours!
