Beaverhead
Wow, this fall is really going by fast. It always seems that right about now is when I realize I didn’t do as much fishing this fall as I wanted to. But, if Mark and I did do all the fishing we wanted, this site would never be updated. It’s a trade off. The Beaverhead […]
The Beaverhead needs a week or so of consistent cool weather before it really picks back up. The fishing has been pretty decent, but is only going to get better later this fall. The fish are being picky, and they can pull it off with all the food choices open to them right now. The […]
I’m headed over to the Beaverhead this morning (I’ve emailed my post to Mark to post for me as I’m running late this morning…) and expect to have a nice day. I’ve been hearing all week how the Craneflies have been cooking early and late and there are still late Caddis over here too. There […]
Man, there is a lot of water in the Beaverhead right now! Compared to last year and the years before that, this is a good year. Flows as of this morning were almost 480 cfs out of the dam below Barretts. The river is going to have enough water to float until late this fall, […]
Unlike most recent years, there is still a lot of water in the Beaverhead. Flows out of Yellowtail Dam are slightly below 500 cfs as of this morning, well above average for this time of year. This only means good things from a fishing point of view. There are a lot of different bugs on […]
Like a lot of waters in the state right now, the Beaverhead is in pretty good shape. Flows were dropped again this week, ending up right above 470 cfs. It has been a pretty hot week with some afternoon thunderstorms, so the weather has been good for hoppers. There are lots of options on the […]
Like many other rivers in the neighborhood, the Beaverhead is just having one of those years. And I mean that in a very positive way. There is still a lot of water in the river, although flows out of the dam have been dropping over the past few days. Levels were sitting right above 550 […]
Not too much has changed over on the Beaverhead. Flows are still in a good range, with just a little bump earlier in the week with all the rain. The rain did push a little bit of mud into the river, but most of that has passed on through now. PMDs and caddis are […]
Summer on the Beaverhead is usually pretty good, and this year is no exception. Flows are holding steady at just over 700 cfs, meaning the fish are spread all over the river, not just holed up in the deeper runs and holes. It is going to get pretty damn hot over here this week, so […]
The Beaverhead is in its summer stride. Flows out of the dam have come up in the past several days, up to over 870 cfs at Barrets as of this morning. This means that the fish are all over the river, not just holding in the deeper runs and pools. Summer hatches of PMDs […]
Flows on the Beaverhead are coming up. They have risen over 100 cfs in the past few days. While the river is not at record levels by any means, the increased flows have made some fish a little more hesitant to feed on top. PMDs and caddis are still hatching like crazy. When you can […]
The Beaverhead is in good shape right now. Flows are well within acceptable limits, although they have been up and down a little bit lately. Clarity is great. Now is the time to be out on the Beaverhead. PMDs seem to be the predominant hatch at the moment. There have been lots of dries […]
The Beaverhead is in pretty good shape right now. Flows have come up in the past few days, but it has not affected fishing too much. Clarity is over a foot in most areas, with the exception being the inlet of feeder creeks and tribs. There are lots of caddis on the water right now, […]
