Beaverhead River - September 20th, 2004

FISHING: Fair
The Flows at Barrett's Diversion Dam are at 44 C.F.S. The river is very low and there are no plans to see the water flow increase until next year. The flows are too low to float the river so if you are planning a trip over to the river leave the boat at home. The browns are starting to migrate upstream towards the dam and you will find that your catch will consist of many more browns than rainbows this time of year. There has been little word about the craneflies this year on the river, however this is the time of year that you generally see the big whirly birds flying early in the morning and late at night. You can expect to see some Baetis as well as psuedocleons hatching as well and keep your eye out for rising fish. Streamers are very good on the Beaverhead and with the numbers of browns in the river it is a good bet for this time of year.
