Beaverhead River
There is a first time for everything
Nov 15th
I had to go to Butte, Montana for work this past week so of course I planed to spend time on the Beaverhead even if it was only for an hour and half. I have been driving up to Montana for years but only the past couple times I have hit the Beaverhead River. What was doing for all those years? This river is unreal!!

Fishing New Water
Oct 23rd
When thinking about writing this post I wanted to just tell what we did where we fished and throw up a few pictures. I know that is most of the time what I do but this time when I sat back thinking of how satisfying it was to fish new waters and have great success I wanted to share a couple pointers that I do when I hit new waters.
Last week I had a meeting in Great Falls, MT so I wanted to plan extra time on the way up and the way back to fish. On the way up we stopped on the Beaverhead just a mile or so below the dam. I read some things about the river and the advice was to use a pheasant tail size 16. Right when I hit the water I put on the recommended fly and sure enough it produced and produced big!! The down side was I only had my camera phone to take some pics.
On the way back we hit the Missouri River right outside of Helena. My friend that lives there met up with us to show us what to use and where to fish. We ended up below Hauser Dam and the fish were active, we ended up landing a few nice rainbows.
After fishing these waters I will be heading back as soon as possible.
