“Pure Montana”
By Chris King

On a recent trip out to Montana, I took the opportunity to stop by and check out a few lodges. One of them was Madison Valley Ranch. The property itself is beautiful. The grounds are well-kept. The buildings are gorgeous log structures, everything you would expect a Montana lodge to look like. There is a stillwater with monster rainbows adjacent to their small fly shop that they have aptly named “Jurassic Pond”. The crew at the ranch was warm and welcoming and had a can-do attitude and were clearly grateful to be living and working in a place like the Madison Valley.

Here at The Fly ShopⓇ we strive to represent outfitters and lodges that have the same mindset as our own, to provide a level of service second to none. We feel incredibly blessed to be able to do what we do for a living. We facilitate fun. When we represent a destination that we believe in, and know our friends will love the experience, it makes it that much more fulfilling.

The folks at Madison Valley Ranch have the same attitude. It was evident when I spent time with them. From the guides to the kitchen staff, to the fella mowing the lawn, every employee had a genuine interest in making sure the guests had the best fly fishing vacation possible. 

After spending time with one of the owners (who also happens to be a travel client of ours) as well as getting to know the management team, it made sense to endorse Madison Valley Ranch and recommend it to our travel clientele It’s a great spot on the Madison River that comes in at a fair price point and will deliver  “The Fly ShopⓇ Experience”.

So with that, we are excited to announce a new partnership with Madison Valley Ranch, a tested addition to our already extensive offerings in the Lower 48.

Madison Valley Ranch is located in the beautiful Madison Valley near the town of Ennis, the self-described Trout Capital of the United States. The Ranch offers guided fly fishing on nearby trout waters, wonderful accommodations, and a relaxing western outdoor experience.

At Madison Valley Ranch you can expect to be taken care of by true professionals. From the guides to the kitchen staff and the hospitality team, this group of superstars knows what it takes to deliver a fantastic fly fishing travel experience.

For 27 years, the staff at Madison Valley Ranch and their dedicated team of guides have provided guests with unforgettable experiences, sharing their passion and knowledge of the Madison River Valley and its trout waters. Together, they run a top-notch operation at one of the world’s premier trout fishing destinations. Every detail of the trip is thought-out and presented in a way that will assure you leave wanting to return the next year.

There is only one way to describe this experience – this is “Pure Montana”.
