Dr. Madeline Fellin is a small-animal veterinarian in Butte, Montana, a stone’s throw from the many storied rivers of Southwest Montana and a short drive to the heart of high-prairie upland hunting. Madeline was born and raised on the Gallatin River near Bozeman, Montana, graduated from Oklahoma State University, and received her doctorate from Washington State University. She and her husband, Wade, own and operate the Big Hole Lodge, three-time winner of the esteemed Orvis-Endorsed Fly-Fishing Lodge of the Year award.
