Fall is in full swing in the Big Hole Valley. We are seeing the cottonwoods change to the vibrant yellow/orange and the brown trout are getting into their fall splendor.  Many of the sizable brown trout are getting aggressive towards streamers and nymphs right now. It is a spectacular time to be on the Big Hole and enjoy the cool crisp fall weather before the snow flies. Streamers in the black, olive and brown colors are working the best right now. Currently, you will find hatches of Blue Winged Olives and Mahogany Duns on the Big Hole River. Enjoy this great time of the year while the weather stays mild.

Big Hole River Fishing Report

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_margin_row=”75px,0″ data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px”][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

Today we have had rainy fall like weather in the Big Hole Valley. The rest of the week looks like perfect, dry and crisp fall like weather. The recent rain has the Big Hole on the rise, which is ideal for getting the river back up to average flows. The river is clear and the flow increase should get the brown trout active and willing to move to streamers. We had tremendous blue winged olive hatches today. Look for these hatches to continue into the week ahead and we should see some mahogany duns thrown into the mix.

Beaverhead River Fishing Report

by sunriseflyshop

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_margin_row=”75px,0″ data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px”][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

The Beaverhead has slowed down dramatically recently. We are having tough fishing from the Dam down to barretts. The flows have dropped and the water coming out of the reservoir is off color and tons of moss is floating down stream. It is hard to fish anything other than a dry fly and maybe a streamer. If you throw any nymphs you will picking up a moss salad. Hopefully this improves but for now we suggest fishing elsewhere. Check out the new Scott Centric fly rod. We have them in stock and we are ready to ship them out.

[eye_row data_width=”container” data_padding_row=”0,15px,0,15px” data_margin_row=”75px,0″][eye_column data_width=”7″][eye_text]

The Big Hole is in the late summer/early fall splendor. You will find some trico’s in spot specific areas in the morning and Blue Winged Olives. We are having solid reports of hopper fishing in the afternoon heat on the lower Big Hole River and around the Melrose area. Streamers in the morning hours have been good with olive color patterns and black color patterns. Looks like the dry and warm weather will persist for the week, which will make for some great fishing opportunities.

You will also find trico’s hatching up in the slick near the dam. You can have fun stalking large fish rise in the mornings to trico’s.

Beaverhead River Fishing Report

Fishing has been pretty good on the Beaverhead. We are still seeing some hatches of PMD’s, Caddis and Yellow Sallies but the hatches are diminishing. We will start moving into Trico’s below the dam and hoppers and ant’s on the lower river. We are also seeing some crane fly activity on the Beaverhead. Look for the crane fly and hopper fishing to pick up dramatically over the next week. Flows out of Clark Canyon Reservoir are currently steady at 660 cfs.

“Hoot-Owl” restrictions prohibit fishing during the hottest times of the day. A hoot-owl restriction prohibiting fishing from 2 p.m. to midnight. the Hoot-owl restriction is currently in effect in the below locations on the Beaverhead River.

-The lower Beaverhead River from Anderson Lane to the Jefferson River.

The section that is open to all day fishing with no restrictions is from the Dam down to Anderson Lane fishing access site. If you need clarification of this location please call the shop 406-412-3463.
