The Beaverhead-Outstanding (With Video) (307cfs Jun 28-30, 329-388cfs Jul. 1-3)

Low water here, easy wading, and still full of big beautiful trout that love to eat dry flies.  If one were to design a tail water trout river . . . maybe just move the interstate!  But hey, its Montana.  Everybody knows the best rivers in Montana are right next to a highway!



































Here's how some of it went down every morning during the PMD hatch:


The Quiet Slough

Good PMD hatches every morning, water covered with PMD spinners, rising fish in every run, just enough challenge to make it fun, and no crowds
