Montana’s Madison River provides fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout that’s second to none. As a result, fly-fishing enthusiasts from around the world are drawn to the historic town of Ennis, “The Fly Fishing Capital of the World,” on the river’s shore. Thousands pour in during Labor Day week each year when the Ennis on the Madison Fly Fishing Festival provides a venue that celebrates this fast-growing sport.

Highlights include fly casting competitions and skill development seminars; tackle vendors; fly-tying demonstrations; conservation group booths; art and literary events; antiques and collectibles displays; plus loads of musical entertainment and piscatorial cuisine. Experts in all areas of fly fishing from fly tying, travel and techniques to equipment, literature, cooking and art have been invited to attend. Proceeds help support the Madison River Foundation, which provides a local voice on the preservation and use of the Madison River ecosystem.
