Bighorn River Fishing Report 6/6
River flows have finally stabilized at 3000 cfs after dropping from the previous 3500 cfs levels. They should remain at this level for a while. There is still some drifting moss below 3 Mile, but appears to be a bit more settled with the reduction in flows.
Fishing has been somewhat spotty lately with some good windows mixed in.
Bighorn River Fishing Report 5/16
Flows are finally stabilized at 3000 cfs. We’re not sure if it’s going any higher at the moment, but we will keep you posted. Fishing has been a bit touchy during the last flow bumps. Some good moments and some not so good. When the fish settle into their new homes (next couple days), expect some really good fishing. Read more...

Anglers on the Bighorn are finding exceptional opportunities as we transition into spring, with current flows running unusually low and clear, creating perfect sight-fishing conditions throughout the system.

Bighorn River Fishing Report 4/20
We’re in full Spring mode on the Bighorn. People are out and about to experience some of the awesome Spring fishing we’ve had lately. We’re just starting to see some Baetis get the fishes’ attention, and should turn the corner any time now to consistent dry fly fishing.
Nymphing has been the main game lately. Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Report 3/16
Spring is here and the fishing has been on fire! Our Bighorn fish are waking up out of their winter slumber and seem to very hungry. It’s still mostly a nymphing and streamer deal with the cooler water temps, but should see some fish looking up soon.
The good thing about this time of year is how opportunistic the fish are. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report 2/25
Finally! The weather is nice enough to get out and fish (besides the wind lately). The folks who made it out the last few days reported pretty epic fishing, mostly nymphs and streamers. This is one of our favorite times to fish the river as it is at its cleanest point of the year. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report 12/2
It’s almost there! The water is clearing and any day should be clear. For now, there is some grass and a tinge of green, but reports have been good! The Bighorn fish start gorging Pre Spawn and know winter is right around the corner.
The Streamer fishing is still good. Lots of fish piled up in the deeper slots, especially since the water temps have cooled down. Read more...
