Bighorn River Fishing Update 11/21

It’s finally turning around!  The Afterbay is beginning to fill and clarity in the river is slowly improving.  We’ve had some fantastic weather and great fishing the past few days and should continue to get even better!

Streamer time is here.  Dredging with tips is the preferred method this time of year.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update 11/8

Not much has changed the past week or so.  The clarity in the river still remains marginal.  The reports from a few guide trips have been good, but you gotta know where to fish!  The grass has cleared out some more, but we really need another cold front to help get the river back to its normal clarity.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update 10/23

It looks like we’re in for a major weather shift the next few days.  Our first snow for the season and cool temps are on the way.  This should help with the lake turnover we’re seeing in the river right now.  Despite the not so ideal water color, the fishing has been pretty good, for most.

Bighorn River Update 10/9

Water temps are slowly on the drop and fishing seems to be picking up.  This was our last ‘busy’ weekend and not busy like the Summer.  If you like solitude and great weather, this is a good time to fish the Bighorn.

Streamer fishing has been productive for most.  Small Buggers like the Grinch, Lil Kim and Thin Mints are working their magic.  Read more...

Bighorn Fishing Update 10/2

It looks like the Fall season is finally here.  Dropping temps are providing for some great fishing conditions.  The crowds are gone for the year and trips are slowing up.  We’re still cranking here everyday and available to help you out!  Fishing has been good for some and tough for others.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update 9/18

It’s quieting down a bit on the river, traffic wise.  Fishing has still been fairly good, even though they’re still working on repairs on gates at the dam.  Water temps have been up and down, so overall making fishing a bit different each day.

The Tricos are strong most days and there is a good window of fish up in the morning hours taking advantage of them. Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update 9/9

Fishing remains good during the morning hours and a bit spotty later afternoon.  The BOR is doing repairs on gates at the main dam, so water temps have fluctuated the past couple days.  We should see them start to drop again at least by Monday.  This should help!

Tricos are still around providing some good fishing for big fish in the morning hours.  Read more...

Bighorn Labor Day Weekend Fishing Update

How’s the fishing?  Depends on who you ask!  I’d say it’s pretty darn good overall.  The Upper 3 is getting a bit grassy, but great conditions below.  Crowds are thinning and some cooler weather is ahead.

We’re seeing some good Trico activity most mornings.  If you’re on the water by 8:30 or so, you should have some targets to throw at.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update 8/26

Flows have dropped down a bit and are currently around 35oo CFS.  Fishing has picked up overall, but there are some odd days where it just isn’t happening.  Not quite sure why.. It’s a good time of year to fish with a guide!

We’re still seeing some fish on Tricos in the morning hours.  Read more...

Bighorn River Update 8/19

We just had another heat wave here on the Bighorn and it was a hot one!  It put a damper on the afternoon fishing, but morning has been good.  We’re seeing some grass growth throughout the whole system, but the Upper 3 definitely is seeing the bulk of it.  Guides are spread out from A to Mallards, so pick your favorite stretch and go!
