One of Montana’s premier fishing rivers for brown trout, Beaverhead River is home to more brown trout on a fairly consistent basis than any other river in the state.

The river flows from the Clark Canyon Reservoir for eighty miles to the confluence of the Jefferson River, situated near Twin Bridges. The Beaverhead River is also one of the most famous rivers in Montana, located along the route taken in 1805 by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. There are several outfitters and guides along the river, offering anglers an opportunity to try their hand against Montana’s wild trout. Map
