Fly Tying Video – The Graveyard Midge

The Graveyard Midge was originated by our friend John Wood, who designed it specifically for Tailwater situations.  It has become the new ‘go to’ Midge pupa for guides and anglers on the Bighorn River.  The Bighorn can be tied in a multitude of color combinations and they all work!  We have the Graveyard Midge available to purchase on our online store as well, for those non-tyers.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update March 6

I guess Spring is here?..  The warm weather has brought folks out of the depths of winter and to the Bighorn.  A bit busy for this time of year on the weekends, but we’re not complaining!  Fishing has been pretty darn good if you’re in the right zones.  Many of the fish are found in their normal winter spots, although the water is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update January 24, 2021

If you can brave the temps right now, it’s worth coming down!  The fishing this early winter has been excellent with a variety of fish from 12-24″  in the river and most importantly, they are willing to eat!

Water temps are in that high 30’s zone, so all the standard winter spots are producing.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Report January 10

A little delay in fishing reports, but nothing too exciting and new to report.  The river is in prime shape as far as clarity and lack of vegetation.  We don’t often get long warm weather windows like this and surprised it hasn’t been busier than it is.  A handful of guys out there trying to shoot end of the season ducks, but not a whole lot of fishing pressure right now.

Bighorn River Fishing Update December 2

What a nice Winter it has been so far!  No cold fronts in sight for a while, so this a great window to come fish the Bighorn.  The river continues to clear, both visibility and grass, each week.  There’s still some grass on the Upper 3, but below that it’s VERY clean.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update November 20

Things are starting to look up on the Bighorn.  Water clarity has increased dramatically over the past 5 or 6 days.  There is some grass in the system, but not like it was a couple weeks ago.  Fishing seems to be picking up as well!

This is the time the Bighorn if you’re a streamer junkie.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Report November 15

Not a whole lot of new things going on here.   The wind finally looks like it’s going to take a break.  This should be a good week to get out and fish!

Water visibility is still marginal, although we’ve lost a fair amount of the grass that was in the system.  Read more...

Bighorn River Fishing Update October 28

We just had one of our earliest and most extreme cold snaps for the late Fall season.  This is the true start of transition on the Bighorn and ultimately helps clean up the system.  That being said, the grass is making its way out, but definitely presents some obstacles in angling.  Read more...
