Beaverhead River Fly Fishing Report
Latest Beaverhead River Reports
- Beaverhead River Fly Shop Report
Our Beaverhead River Fly Shop will open for the 2026 season April 1st. We are looking forward to a fantastic trout season. To start the season the Beaverhead has its spawning closure from the Dam down to Pipe Organ Bridge. Everything below Pipe Organ opens April 1st and we can’t wait to go fishing. The flows out of Clark Canyon Reservoir are still at base winter flows. The river is too low to float at these flows. You will easily be able to wade fish any of the reaches below Pipe Organ Bridge. Spring Special Packages are still available. Book your trip today.

- Beaverhead River July Fishing Report
The Beaverhead River July fishing report has been stellar so far. We are seeing great hatches of PMD’s lately. We have found some pockets of Yellow Sallies, and fantastic caddis in the evening hours. Around the grasshopper flats you will see golden stone’s hatching and the fish have been crushing dries on certain days. Head hunting in the slick on the upper Beaverhead has been good for the technical anglers. Flows out of Clark Canyon Reservoir are hovering around 650 cfs and seem to be going up daily. Now is the time to get on the Beaverhead River. July is always the prime month on this fantastic tailwater fishery. The Beaverhead River is always the cold water refuge during the heat of the summer.
