August 1 Bighorn River Flow Update
We just got word last night flows will continue dropping on the Bighorn until Sunday, at which point we should be around the 4000 CFS mark. The fish haven’t minded the changing water and fishing keeps getting better and better!
DRIES: Get here now! It’s getting good! The Caddis fishing (Black and Tan) was EPIC yesterday afternoon and evening and should continue for a while. Read more...
Late July Dry Fly Report for the Bighorn River
Summer is getting better and better on the Bighorn. Flows will be down to 5500 CFS as of Wednesday afternoon and should hold steady there for a bit. This is great news for everyone and especially the dry fly crowd!
Black Caddis are out in huge numbers right now providing for some excellent surface fishing. Read more...
Bighorn River July Flow Update
It looks like we are actually headed in the right direction! Flows are being decreased each day 500 CFS until we hit 7000 CFS Thursday afternoon. It’s put some of the fish off a bit, but there are plenty of more who seem happy to eat your bugs!
Dry fly fishing is getting better and better! Read more...
July 19 Bighorn River Report
It appears as our flows are finally on the way down (9100 CFS as of last night). This should be the last of it, should be.. Fishing remains really consistent and will only continue to get better as the water comes down, which should be very soon.
Summer dry fly fishing has kicked off and we’re seeing great numbers of PMD’s, Black Caddis and Yellow Sallies. Read more...

July 11 Bighorn River Update
Flows are back up to 9500 CFS but the fish don’t seem to mind! We’re seeing good numbers of PMD’s and Sallies in the mid day and Black Caddis are starting to make an appearance in the evenings. There are finally a decent amount of fish up in side channels and softer edges. Read more...
Fourth of July Fishing Report
Happy Independence Day everyone!
We’ll just get to the point….fishing is good right now on the Bighorn. With flows at 8,500 and river temps at a perfect 55 degrees the fish are active and feeding. Our guide reports are good numbers of healthy fish in the nets daily. AND THERE IS NO ONE HERE!!! Read more...
June 28 Bighorn Fishing and Flow Update
Things are shaping up great for the Bighorn. Flows are on the drop again and water temps are still prime, but not getting too warm like last year. The river is scheduled to be at 8500 CFS by the end of today and should sit there for the weekend. We’re not sure what happens next, but as inflows to the lake drop, our section will drop as well.

June 22 Bighorn River Report
Bighorn River flows are just above 10K. This is obviously not what was expected, but runoff came late this year and with the Corps of Engineers taking over operation of the Yellowtail dam, it’s hard saying what their next move will be. The good news is our runoff is subsiding and we don’t expect flows to stay up at current levels for too long (maybe a couple weeks max). Read more...
Bighorn River Flow Update
Flows this weekend were bumped to 8300 CFS and we just got word they are on the rise to 10k by tomorrow. Inflows to the lake are right around 11,900 and we’re guessing (and hoping!) this is our last push of water and remainder of runoff for the season. The best news is water temps have bumped up into the mid 50’s which has really got the fish on the feed! Read more...
