Beaverhead River - June 12th, 2004

FISHING: Fair
The Flows at Barrett's Diversion Dam are up to 501 C.F.S. The river is clean from The dam dowstream for about a mile to the High Bridge. The small creek, which I believe is called Clark Creek, which empties into the Beavehead just downstream of the High Bridge is running dirty and making the fishing below there tough. The angler pressure over the weekend will all be condensed into this short stretch of river so if may be a little crowded on the river. The nymph fishing has been good with small scuds, sowbugs and small mayfly nymphs. Don't forget to try a san juan worm or a streamer if it is cloudy out.
Fly Pattern Suggestions :Red San Juan Worms, Red Sawyer PT #18-20, Grey Scud #14-16, Olive Scud #14-16, Red Midge Larvae #18-22, Olive Midge Larvae #18-22, Olive Hares Ear #16-18, Green Weenie #18-20.
