About this water

Varney Bridge is one of the most celebrated access points on the Madison River, offering world-class dry fly and nymph fishing for large brown and rainbow trout. The river here features classic riffles, runs, and pools that hold trophy-sized fish year-round. Wading anglers and float fishers both find excellent opportunities in this stretch.
