Madison River at Burnt Tree Fishing Access

Photo by Ken W. Hall

"In the foreground the ice on the main river channel has risen 3-4 feet above the level of an island in the middle of the Madison River while determined to continue its journey toward the confluence of the headwaters of the Missouri River the constant northward flow claimed the island as the 'new channel' ". Determination to follow instinct is a mighty and powerful force with no limitations."

Below zero temperatures are causing interesting changes in the Madison river this season.  Ken took this photo at Burnt Tree fishing access earlier this week.  The wind is blowing strong as warmer air moves in.  We are expecting temperatures to warm into the low forties by early next week.
