Conditions are improving on the Bighorn as nightime temps have dropped, which is what we’ve been waiting for. The river is still a bit green and the grass is still around, although quite a bit cleaner than it has been. This hasn’t kept the fishing from eating though!
We’ve started to see the Fall BWO’s along with Psuedos and even a few Tricos later in the mornings. Read more...
We’re still looking good out here on the Bighorn. The entire river has been fishing well, besides the slight water adjustments going on. Flows are up around 1900 CFS and just a bit of salad drifting around with the flow increase. Water temps are still in the high 40’s – mid 50’s. Read more...
Fishing has been very solid lately on the Horn’. Plenty of PMD’s and increasing numbers of Black Caddis have fish looking up throughout most of the day. The fish are definitely way more technical than they have been, but plenty of targets to test your skills. There’s a great PMD spinner fall on the upper river at about 9 most mornings, followed by the main PMD emergence by noon or so. Read more...
Things are heading in the right direction on the Bighorn. The majority of rainbows have moved off their redds and back into the main runs making for plenty of shots at big fish. River clarity is superb and water temps are still in the mid 40’s, but we are still having to fish through some moss, especially below 3 Mile. Read more...
The Bighorn continues to kick out great fishing as we enter Spring. A-3, 3-B, they’re all good sections to fish right now. There are a few more people around on the weekends and pretty quiet on the weekdays, but overall plenty of room to fish!
Not a lot has changed pattern wise. Read more...
I guess Spring is here?.. The warm weather has brought folks out of the depths of winter and to the Bighorn. A bit busy for this time of year on the weekends, but we’re not complaining! Fishing has been pretty darn good if you’re in the right zones. Many of the fish are found in their normal winter spots, although the water is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year.

Between the wind and well, the wind, there’s been some small windows of opportunity on the Bighorn. Those who have made it down have had good things to say. Winter tailwater fishing at its’ finest right now.
Bighorn fish are eating well the entire span of the river, mainly subsurface. Read more...

We’re looking forward to another awesome Summer just like this past year! Read more...
What a nice Winter it has been so far! No cold fronts in sight for a while, so this a great window to come fish the Bighorn. The river continues to clear, both visibility and grass, each week. There’s still some grass on the Upper 3, but below that it’s VERY clean. Read more...
Good things still happening on the Bighorn. It’s not quite as consistent as previous weeks, but it’s fishing really well overall – A hell of a lot better than the past Septembers! We’re finally seeing Tricos on the majority of the river, and a few big fish are starting to notice them.. Read more...
