Lodge Overview

The Best Fishing in Montana...

Ennis, Montana is the cultural epicenter of fly fishing and central to the best trout fisheries in Montana. The blue ribbon Upper Madison River in our backyard is legendary in status.

Only an hour from Bozeman,

Conveniently located between Bozeman Airport and Yellowstone National Park, you're not going to see fast food joints, big box stores or gridlocked freeways. It's nothing but snow capped peaks, vast landscapes and blue ribbon trout streams under Montana's "Big Sky".

We just keep coming back!

We started coming in 2005 and have never had anything but a perfect experience over all these years and visits. The quality of everything the lodge offers has remained consistent since 2005 and we are already booked for trip #12 in 2021!

A 5-Star Fishing Lodge

Lodge's service, food and facilities are 5 star. This lodge is surrounded by such beauty, with mountains in the background, the feel of a log cabin lodge, nicely stocked pond and a portion of the Madison River that you can wade fish in.

Perfect for our annual trip!

I've visited Madison Valley Ranch now too many times to count, and each time I return, the experience gets better. Aside from the world-class fishing, the lodging is second to none, the food is fantastic, and the company is always great.
