Dan,
My
experience in Dillon. We stayed at the local motel on the main drag, I
think it was a Best Western. I can find out for sure if you
like. The owner there is a good guy, he will ferry you to or from the
river for $10 if you want to wade. I went in late August and the river
was very wadeable. There is ample public access, Pipe Organ is one
spot. If you want guide and float service, there are three fly shops
in Dillon about 100 yards apart from one another.
There is also an excellent article in the January issue of Northwest
Fishing Holes on fishing the Beaverhead in Dillon. It has pictures of
the area, river, access points, and suggestions. Well worth the
$3.00. If you can't find it I will scan it in and email it to
you.
As
far as fishing, the locals told me smaller flies are best (14 - 18).
Caddis, Trico, PMD. Very significant insect hatches at various times
throughout the day. I caught a nice brown on a 14 caddis, a couple of
other rainbows on a 18 black gnat. Color seemed less important.
If you didn't have small flies, you had a long lunch.

My fishing partner and I are taking our wives to the Dillon,
Hamilton, Ennis area on the 6th of June thru 11 June. We need some
advice about some fishing lodges, good spots to fish and guides.
Any help will be appreciated.
We arrive Dillon the afternoon of June 6 to meet the other couple
coming up from a return trip to Denver.
Dan
