Has anyone fished Beaver Creek? Any advice, info, help would be great. Going up there this weekend. Thanks.

Haven't fished it yet this year but usually make it up there at least a couple times every year. I can't give current conditions but usually in years past, now is about optimal time to head up there as the flows get a bit low in later months.

This year with all the snow up there I'm betting the water will still be a bit high but I think you will still do fine fishing. May even be some snow still on the peaks around you.

Its standard small creek fishing with a ton of eager (6-8") bows and the occasional brown just waiting to smack a well placed yellow humpy or stimulator.


Do yourself a favor and hike a bit to get away from the main crowd access spot on the creek, youll find some nice deeper holes upstream where you could either hang a dropper from your top fly or even toss a wooly bugger, where you might get into some bigger (12") fish.

Have fun, give us a report, Im probably a couple weeks from heading up there myself.
