| | "Big Hole River, Montana - Great Rivers - Angler's OnLine" |
 | | At Divide the river changes course to the south and is paralleled by interstate 15 for 17 miles. |
 | | Irrigation demand is heavy and, with the watershed drying up by late June like it has for the past several years, the flow of the 'Hole' is greatly reduced, on average, from its peak of around 4,200 cfs at the first of the month, down to around 1,200 cfs by the end of June. |
 | | Of course, there are smaller animals along the river, beaver, mink, and otter being the most interesting, as well as a myriad of birds, including a variety of waterfowl. |
