Meanderings

Stalking trout with dry flies. Floating, wading, and camping along the rivers. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Winter trips to Mexico.

Back to the Beaverhead-9/25-26 (187-150cfs)

I know, again?  But it still could be the most fun dry fly river in Montana when you hit it right.  I seem to hit it right every time lately.  Easier to fish than the MO.  More like a creek at lower flows.  The flows have been dropping daily toward the winter trickle.  It's easy knee-high wading, there's still some water over the thick weeds, the baetis are hatching, and the fish are on 'em!  Enough bugs to bring the fish up, but not so many so that they don't appreciate the opportunity and take advantage of each one.
A Cloudy Start to a Perfect BWO Day.
