Description
The Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. For most of this section, the Madison River flows in Wyoming through Yellowstone National Park. One would think that's the rivers origin in the high plateau region of Yellowstone Park, which is notoriously cold, would keep the river cold. However, as the Madison River runs right through the most thermally active region in the United States, the water temperature on section of the river is unusually warm for a high mountain river, frequently exceeding seventy degrees in the summer. Consequently, despite lying in a high, mountain environment, which frequently leads to low nutrient content, the Madison has an exceptionally high nutrient level in places, creating great fishing for those willing to take the time and effort to access the river.img163-1 887c
