Currently we are having a flushing flow on the Beaverhead. The prediction is several days with a release of 600cfs out of Clark Canyon Reservoir. So, with this happening the fishing is not an option right now on the Beaverhead. The river is dirty and won’t fish well until the flushing flows decrease. We will keep you updated when the fishing improves. The reason they are flushing the Beaverhead is to remove the silt build up below Clark Canyon Creek.

Fishing is good on the Beaverhead. Please remember that the river remains closed from the Dam down to Pipe Organ Bridge until the 3rd Saturday of May. Fishing below Pipe Organ has been good on Caddis and BWO’s. The river remains low until the irrigation season kicks off soon.

Not a good option right now. Clarity is bad and the floating moss is horrible. You will be taking moss off your flies on every cast with dries, nymphs and streamers.

Great fishing right now on the Beaverhead. You will find PMD’s, Yellow Sallies and Caddis hatching on the river. Nymphing has been excellent and if you want to throw dries you will find fantastic dry fly fishing in the slick and on the lower river.  The upper river has been pretty busy but you will be able to find some solitude below high bridge.

Recommended Flies: #18 Olive/brown Split Back; #18 Hunchback #18 Crack Back; #18 Psycho Mayfly; #18 Micro Mayfly; #16 Kyle’s Sally; #18 Zebra Midge; #16 PMD Spinner; #18 Rollin’ Stone; #14 Bloom’s Caddis; #14 CDC Caddis; #14 X Caddis; #16 Purple Haze

The upper Beaverhead River has been fishing well. We have had our guides on the river this week. A tan S.J. worm, and #18 olive split backs have been working well. River conditions are great right now on the Beaverheread with an outflow @ 680 CFS. Dry fly activity has been limited and nymphing has been pretty good.

It’s opening day on the Beaverhead. Don’t get too excited, it’s blown out below Clark Canyon Creek. So you have about a mile and a half of clear water from the Dam down to Clark Canyon Creek and you will not be alone. Nymphing will be your most productive style of fishing. #18 Ray Charles, #18 sow Bugs, #14 Micro Worms, #18 Zebra midges and #18 rainbow warriors.

Happy new year to everyone and we are glad to get out our first Beaverhead River fishing report of the season. It’s pretty quiet in Southwest Montana and we are enjoying a great valley snowpack and a slightly above average snowpack for the Jefferson drainage, which includes the Beaverhead River valley. Currently Clark Canyon Reservoir is 50% full so an above average snowpack will increase the chances of the reservoir filling up this spring. The Beaverhead is a good place to get some winter fishing done. You have options of Poindexter Slough and everything below Pipe Organ Bridge is open to fishing right now on the Beaverhead. It’s been a pretty chilly winter in Southwest Montana. We have seen only a handful of days reaching above 32 degrees in the valley. We will keep you posted throughout the winter season.

The flows on the Beaverhead are low. The outflow from Clark Canyon Reservoir is 64cfs. Wade fishing is your only option. The river is so low we recommend giving the fish a break. If you want to get after it find the riffles and pools and you will catch a bunch of fish since they are stacked up in the holes. Our best flies of choice have been #18 Psycho Mayflies, #18 scuds, #18 Micro Mayflies, #10 San Juan Worms.

Flies: #18 Micro Mayfly; #18 Tan Scud; #10 San Juan Worm; #18 Hunchback;  #18 Zebra Midge; #18 Trico Spinner;#18 Trico Comparadun; #16 Rusty Spinner; #16 CDC PMD;#18 Split Back PMD Olive/Brown; #18 Pheasant Tail; #18 psycho Mayfly; #18 Captive Dun ; #6 Fat Albert; #6 Parachute Hopper; #6 Morrish Hopper
