Early March Bighorn River Update
Well, it’s almost here. Spring, that is. The boat ramps are clear(ish) and people are starting to come out of the woodwork to experience some pretty good fishing. The word on the Bighorn fish so far – less numbers, bigger fish. I’ll take that, and I think many of you will as well. Read more...

Water Outlook for 2019 and What Happened Last Year
Our #1 question and concern from this winter – What’s going on with the Bighorn and what are the flows going to be like this year??
As many of you know the last two years were record water years for the Bighorn and impacted the wade fishing windows, hatches, water clarity, and water temperatures just to name a few. Read more...
Late February Bighorn Update
Talk about a ‘ghost town’. Fort Smith and the River are about as quiet as it gets. If you want solitude on the Bighorn, this is the time. The river is looking great and will be prime shape for our early Spring, whenever that happens. Read more...

Maybe consider staying away from the weekends if you want the Bighorn to yourself.. Waterfowl season just wrapped up (geese for another week) so that will take away some pressure as well.

It’s a New Year on the Bighorn River
We hope all of you are enjoying 2019 thus far, as we can hope for better things to come. At least we’re headed in the right direction. The water is finally clear, after fluctuations of green coming through, and the grass is gone! The recent cold snap kicked most of the anglers out of the area, but there are a handful around. Read more...
Early April Fishing Report
We may be finally seeing a break in our “spring” weather, as temperatures are expected to reach into the high 50’s by the end of the weekend. There has been an abnormal amount of snow around at low to mid levels. Flows have bumped up into the mid 6000’s and are expected to keep rising as they are making room for incoming water from the Wyoming drainages. Read more...
