Sheridan Montana

Montana has a great stream access law that allows you to fish within the rivers highwater marks regardless of who owns the property that the river crosses. You can also generally access the rivers from bridges as long as you stay within the bridge easement. I know some landowners put fences up on the bridges in and around Sheridan to restrict access but they're not suppose to. This has been a heated battle on the Ruby River for a few years I guess. Bottom line though, if you can get on it without trespassing, you can fish it.

I fish the Madison several times a year, never in the winter, but I understand there are some great midge hatches that happen.

Good luck.
