Beaverhead River Fly Fishing Report
Latest Beaverhead River Reports
- Beaverhead River Fishing Report
The Beaverhead River fishing report has been good lately. The flows are up and the fish have been looking up as well. You will find hatches of PMD’s, Sallies and Caddis on the Beaverhead. Our best fishing has been from the dam down to Henneberry fishing access. The floating moss below Hildreth Bridge has been problematic lately. To avoid the moss, you’ll do best throwing dry flies below Hildreth. We suspect the flows out of Clark Canyon reservoir will remain around 500cfs until the end of the month. Currently the conditions are prime on the upper Beaverehad River.
Recommended Flies:
- Hunchback PMD #18
- Crackback PMD #16
- Barr’s Emerger #16
- McGrubber PMD #16
- Headlight Sallie #14
- Comparadun PMD #18
- Micro Peanut Chubby #16
- 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.
Recommended Flies:
- #16 Shop Vac
- #16 Micro May (Olive)
- #16 Zebra Midge
- #16 Olive Thread Frenchie
