127 E Main St, Ennis, MT 59729
The Tackle Shop in Ennis has been a cornerstone of Madison River fly fishing for decades, earning its place as a true institution in a town that lives and breathes trout. Located on Main Street just blocks from the Madison, this shop carries a well-curated selection of flies tied specifically for the river's famous hatches — salmonflies, PMDs, caddis, and the streamers that move the Madison's biggest brown trout in fall. The staff are genuine Madison veterans, able to tell you on any given day exactly which section is fishing, what the fish are eating, and whether the afternoon PMD hatch is worth waiting for. The shop's deep familiarity with the Madison — from the Yellowstone Park boundary down through Ennis Lake — is a resource that visiting anglers simply cannot replicate on their own.
Guided trips are run by experienced local guides who know the Madison intimately, from the technical spring creek character of the upper reaches to the big-water runs below Ennis. The shop carries quality gear from Sage, Simms, Orvis, Rio, and Scientific Anglers, plus a solid inventory of fly tying materials for those who want to match Madison hatches with their own hands. A stop at The Tackle Shop before hitting the river is simply part of the Madison River experience — you leave with better information, better flies, and better odds of a memorable day on one of Montana's finest trout rivers.
