Beaverhead River - July 29th, 2010
  • Recorded:
  • Mostly sunny
  • 81 ° F 
  • Fishing: Excellent
The Beaverhead is fishing fantastic!  The river level has come up and we are seeing flows at around 870CFS out of Clark Canyon Res.  Strong flows and the fish just keep getting bigger, a good combination.  Caddis are heavy at times as well as PMD's and Yellow Sallies.  A couple of days ago we noticed flying ants everywhere.  It didn't take the fish long and they were all over them, so don't hesitate to throw a few ants into your favorite fly box.  Dry fly fishing has improved but you must keep a sharp eye out for rises or have seen fish in certian places in the past.  Otherwise you won't pick up the clues needed to get the big fish 

Important Note:  All of us here at Frontier Anglers want to thank everyone who wrote in supporting our views concerning the San Juan Shuffle.  All of you, except for one angler, viewed it as an un-ethical practice of fly fishing.  Although we all see fly fishing in our own light we must stay positive towards one of the most pleasing aspects of the sport, which is to have fun, and to watch someone fishing in this manner voids that appeal.    

Thanks for your support!
