Fly Fishing Festival in Ennis, MT
On Labor Day weekend each year, Ennis, MT, located on the banks of the Madison River, holds its annual Fly Fishing Festival. Lots of fly-fishing related stuff, such as equipment, demonstrations, along with lectures and art, as well as music and good food (the smoked trout pizza was amazing!).
The Madison River, flows between the Gallatin and Beaverhead national forests, is a mecca for fly-fishing people. Big old fighting Brown trout abound in the Madison River’s fast flowing, clear waters. Between the flyfishing and festival, it’s a good time for all.
Here’s the announcement from the Ennis Chamber’s website:
