: Big Hole River: The river has had a slight drop in flow down to around 2200 cfs. This is a perfect level for anyone with a hard side boat to float and not tear your bottom off. Still use caution on the side channels, the farmers have been damming them and sucking a lot of water. The flow does a noticeable drop between Divide and Melrose. The visibility is coming back and is around 2 plus feet. The streamer fishing has been as good as it gets. Cast in towards the bank and strip it fast. The fish are liking white, yellow, natural and olive. Late in the afternoon you can start to find a few fish eating dries. Some caddis are out and about and look for fish to eat off the surface around dinner time.

| About: - The Big Hole River comes to life in the Beaverhead Mountains south of Jackson, Montana, as the outlet of Skinner Lake, elevation 7,340. Throughout the 155.6 miles it flows, the Big Hole takes on many faces. From its beginning as a small mountain stream, the Big Hole flows north to Wisdom, where it gains strength by joining with the North Fork and flows northeasterly for about 25 miles.
