Bighorn River Fishing Report 5/6
Bighorn River Spring Report: Low Water & Technical Nymphing
The spring transition is officially underway on the Bighorn River. While the first Baetis of the season are starting to show, rising fish are still rare, so keep your dry fly expectations tempered for now. It’s about to happen!
Nymphing remains the most productive method for finding consistent action in these tailwater conditions.

The calendar might still say March, but the river is already acting like it’s ready for the main event. Spring is officially just around the corner, and the Bighorn is responding with some of the most consistent action we’ve seen all year. Fishing has been very good on the upper 3 and the lower river stretches producing quality fish for those willing to deal with a bit of drifting vegetation. Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Report 12/9
Winter fishing is here and so is the wind! That has been the biggest struggle lately, but if you can fight it, the fishing has been excellent. The Browns are starting to do their thing and getting aggressive. The clarity is still off a bit and there is some grass, but better than years past. Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Report 11/6
Well, it happened. The lake turned over and the river is GREEN. Not terrible green, but it’s green! We’ll need some very cold nights to expedite the colored water coming through, so it might be a bit.
Despite all of that, our guides and local anglers are having good success. The streamer bite is still on and nymphing has been solid enough. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report 10/16
We might get lucky this year and have no lake turnover, which equates to no green river water! It’s getting late enough in the season, it should’ve happened by now, but strange things can happen. We’ll keep you posted!
Overall, fishing has been excellent. With the cooler, cloudy weather, the streamer bite has been really good. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report 10/7
The fishing is hanging in there and Fall is in full effect. It’s a great time to visit the Bighorn, especially if you like a little solitude!
It’s mostly a nymph and Streamer deal at the moment, but it’s been good. Big Orange Scuds, Sows (tailwaters/carpets), and various little perdigons are getting fish in the net. Read more...

We’re getting into transition mode which is typical for this time of season. The Summer hatches of Caddis are winding down and each day has been a bit different, but Fishing has been very solid overall. We’ve resorted to mainly nymphing and streamer fishing, but there are still a handful of fish rising. Read more...
