There is still some good fishing to be had on the Bighorn. We knew this long spell of amazing fishing couldn’t last all year, so here it is – Bighorn Lake has started to turn over resulting in ‘green’ conditions throughout the Bighorn. It’s held off a lot longer than we thought, but it’s here and will be here until the nights really start cooling off. 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...
We hope everyone is enjoying their extended weekend and are getting out to fish. Good things are still going on here on the Bighorn. We’re finally headed towards a big cool down, which should keep the fish happy and the fishing great through September.
The Caddis window is starting to wrap up overall. Read more...
The Bighorn continues to provide very solid fishing as we move into September. Flows are stable at 2400 cfs and clarity is pretty darn good. Not like what we’ve seen in the past few years with the ‘green’ water. The grass is growing in spots, mainly the Upper 3, but also provides us with the great amount of insects found out there right now. Read more...
Ok, so there’s definitely some BS with a lot of fishing reports (I try not to), but not right now. The Bighorn has been fishing pretty insane. The amount of fish and size of fish just amazes us right now, and it just keeps going!
Pheasant tail season here. Just about any PT version right now will get you fish all day long. Read more...
The Bighorn is fishing pretty damn good out there folks. Don’t need to take our word for it. Had three clients over the last week come in and tell us it’s the best fishing they’ve ever had. There’s good reason for that, a smorgasbord of food out there right now…Hoppers, PMDs, yellow sallies, and caddis. Read more...
BIGHORN RIVER REGIONAL UPDATE –
The Crow Tribe has instituted a great deal of confusion with a recent order indicating they intend to set up roadblocks to turn away non-residents and close the lake and river accesses.In spite of their directive, we have not seen the tribe attempt to interfere in any way with traffic coming down highway 313.

Dry fly season is on! The Bighorn continues to kick out impressive hatches of PMD’s and Black Caddis daily. Fishing has been great in all aspects (Nymphing, Dry fly, some streamers). Definitely a few people around, but the fish don’t seem to mind.
If you’re looking to hunt heads, plan on being on the water by about 11 and stay until dark. Read more...
Conditions on the Bighorn are prime right now for Summer fishing. PMD’s are still the main event and they are as thick as can be on most days. It’s a bit busier out there, but with the whole river fishing well, you can pick fish out of many spots.
If you’re looking to hunt fish on the surface, plan on about 1 PM till dark. Read more...
We’re currently experiencing some of the best PMD fishing we’ve seen in years on the Bighorn. The fish are eating them with reckless abandon (a good presentation is still necessary) but it’s damn good! Here is one of our favorite PMD nymphs ever that works across the West and is especially good on the Bighorn. Read more...
