Beyond the Beaverhead
Norm Zeigler
As one of the West’s premier destinations for trophy browns and rainbows,
Montana’s upper Beaverhead River draws anglers from around the country
and the world. With the right guide and gear — most often a drift boat,
tiny nymphs, split shot and strike indicator — the upper five or six miles
of this fertile tailwater can produce multiple big-fish days. But there is a curious
side effect to the Beaverhead’s fame: Many visitors ignore or overlook the region’s
myriad other fly-fishing opportunities.
