Three Dollar Bridge: Madison River - Montana

The Madison River gets its start with the convergence of the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers in Yellowstone National Park (in front of the Madison Campground where we are camped for the first days in the park). This is one of the iconic fly-fishing rivers and it runs north to near Bozeman, MT. One of the more storied fly-fishing destinations is the Three Dollar Bridge, which we surprisingly learned was on our path to Wade Lake. I was giddy to be able to fish there for about 4 hours and although I only caught a few small rainbow trout, it was a fantastic experience to be able to fish this classic water.
