Bighorn River Fishing Report 6/24

June has been an interesting month on the Bighorn.  Lower than average flows, very cold water and fish that just aren’t exactly ‘gorging.’  There have been some good moments, but we can’t wait for July to arrive, especially when the PMD’s make their appearance.  We’re at least a couple weeks, if not more, from seeing consistent bug activity.  That will get these Bighorn fish riled up for sure!

It’s still a bobber deal for the most part.  Orange Scuds, Tailwater Sows, UV Yum Yums, Carpet Bugs, Zebras, LBF’s, Quills and the odd worm here and there is what you’ll want on your rigs.

A few folks are getting some fish on streamers.  The fish are definitely moving up in the skinnier water for easy access.  Goldies, Blondies, Rusty Trombones, jig leeches are all prime candidates.
