Starting in mid-July, we watched as the Beaverhead River became cloudier and murkier by the week. It started out with a glacier-like blue/green silty color. A couple of weeks later, it was down right blown-out looking, The fishing really sucked as well. I had never seen the Beav like that and it turns out, neither had a lot of other people.
State biologists are "stumped" by the condition which showed up for a couple of weeks last year but lasted all summer this year.
There is a great article in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle about it.
The Beav is one of my favorite places to fish. I hope this can be figured out!
Here is another great link which provides a couple of hypothesis given at the meeting in Dillon on Oct. 27th.
