quake-lake-to-lyons-bridge

Quake Lake to Lyons Bridge is a stretch on Madison River, Montana.

Also called The Slide, The Wade Section and Slide.

It is fishable and wade only.

Montana Angler blog: 'Known locally as "the Slide" or "the wade section", this 13 mile stretch ... is restricted to wade fishing only.' Montana Angler's river page narrows 'The Slide' to the boulder pocket water from Quake Lake to Raynolds Pass; MRFC says the salmonfly hatch works up-river 'to the Slide area'.

It is upstream of Lyons Bridge to McAtee Bridge.

It is downstream of Between the Lakes.
