Fishing Report
Report conditions: 69 cfs · ▼ 2.0% 24h · ↓43% median
Flows on the Lower Beaverhead remain quite low at 68.6 cfs, 43% below median, and down slightly over the last 24 hours — expect a skinnier, more technical river with fish holding in deeper runs and tailouts. Water clarity is holding clear per the gauge trend, so work hopper-dropper rigs through undercut banks and slower inside corners, and don't overlook midge and caddis activity during low-light periods. With cool, overcast conditions and no wind-driven turbidity, morning nymphing on sowbugs and PMD emergers should still produce, transitioning to hoppers, ants, and beetles as the day warms. No restrictions currently in place on this section, but low flows warrant careful wading and quick releases in warmer afternoon temps.
