Bighorn River Fishing Update October 27, 2021
It looks like we’re entering that time of the year where the river conditions aren’t optimal, but the fish are handling it pretty well! Bighorn Lake has turned and we’re seeing the infamous green water throughout most of the upper river. Once you’re down below about the Bighorn Club, clarity has been noticeably better. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update October 16, 2021
The Bighorn is a great place to be right now! Great Fall foliage, hungry fish and the crowds are down (most days). We’re starting to see a bit of the lake turnover after this past cold snap and the slight bump in river flow. The fish don’t seem to mind though! Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report October 5, 2021
The past few years, this is generally the time of year where we experience lake turnover and excessive amounts of grass. Thanks to the cold water temps and low flows this Summer, the river is in the best shape we have seen in years! Sure, there’s a bit of grass around on the lower river, but not enough to hinder your fish catching abilities. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report September 23, 2021
The Bighorn continues to impress us with how long it’s giving us good fishing this Summer/Fall.
Good numbers of Black Caddis and Tan Caddis along with Psuedos have fish looking up as long, as it’s not too windy. The fish have not been pushovers and are well educated at this point in the season, but plenty of big ones are available. Read more...
Bighorn River Update September 14
We’re still looking good out here on the Bighorn. The entire river has been fishing well, besides the slight water adjustments going on. Flows are up around 1900 CFS and just a bit of salad drifting around with the flow increase. Water temps are still in the high 40’s – mid 50’s. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report September 9
Overall, the river has been fishing well, although there are some moments of ‘off and on’ fishing. We’re definitely seeing a transition period as we’re moving into early Fall and the river did just bump up almost 200 CFS since yesterday. Still pretty busy overall, so if you don’t like people, wait till November.. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update 8/27
Fishing has been very solid lately on the Horn’. Plenty of PMD’s and increasing numbers of Black Caddis have fish looking up throughout most of the day. The fish are definitely way more technical than they have been, but plenty of targets to test your skills. There’s a great PMD spinner fall on the upper river at about 9 most mornings, followed by the main PMD emergence by noon or so. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Report August 15
PMD madness continues on the Bighorn. If you want to see the Bighorn in its prime dry fly glory, this is the time. From about noon till dark, you will be able to find consistent heads up and plenty of bugs. We’re seeing a handful of Caddis, especially below 3 Mile. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update 8/4
It’s finally happening out here! Great hatches of PMD’s, Black Caddis and even a few Tan Caddis are going on right now. If you like ‘techy’ dry fly fishing for big fish, this is the time to be here! Early afternoon – Dark will have plenty of targets up to fish to. Read more...
Bighorn River Report July 25
It’s real close to go time folks! Increasing numbers of PMD’s and Caddis in the early afternoon signal it could break loose any day now. Water temps are in the mid 40’s early in the morning and approaching low 50’s throughout much of the lower end of the river. There are no closures or ‘Hoot Owl’ restrictions on the Bighorn right now!
