The Beaverhead River can be a great refuge for winter fishing. From Pipe Organ Bridge down to Barretts park you can fish in the winter season. Anglers must remember that from the Dam down to Pipe Organ Bridge is closed to fishing until the 3rd Saturday of May. You can find hatches of midges on warmer days and a few trout siping on the surface in areas of the river during the heat of the day. For the most part nymph fishing is the ticket right now on the stretches below Pipe Organ Bridge. You can also have some luck pulling streamers in the deeper pools and moving them very slow on the bottom of the river. Our best nymphs have been #10 San Juan worms, #16 shop vac, #18 micro may, and zebra midges. When you are nymphing make sure you find the slow tail outs of the runs in the deeper buckets. Once you find fish you should have a pile of them.
Spring season will be here before you know it. We are offering our annual spring special from April 1st – May 15th. Enjoy discounted package lodging/fishing with us and fantastic Spring fishing. Some of our weekends are filling up but we still have availability for the special rates. We are expecting more winter and plenty of snow the next two months. We will keep you updated on the Beaverhead River winter fishing season.
