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...
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. Read more...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Things are looking good on the Bighorn. The water clarity has dramatically improved over the past week. There is a bit of color, especially on the upper river, but once you get down below 3 Mile, clarity has been pretty good (3-4′) and will only improve with the cooler weather ahead of us. Read more...
We’re in Fall transition on the Bighorn. The water clarity is not fantastic, but is not terrible especially toward the lower end of 3-B. Fishing has still been good, but is very spot specific. This is the one time of the year I would say the guides are really earning their $ and getting fish in the boat, while other anglers have challenges ahead of them. Read more...
There is still some good fishing to be had on the Bighorn. We knew this long spell of amazing fishing couldn’t last all year, so here it is – Bighorn Lake has started to turn over resulting in ‘green’ conditions throughout the Bighorn. It’s held off a lot longer than we thought, but it’s here and will be here until the nights really start cooling off. Read more...
Good things still happening on the Bighorn. It’s not quite as consistent as previous weeks, but it’s fishing really well overall – A hell of a lot better than the past Septembers! We’re finally seeing Tricos on the majority of the river, and a few big fish are starting to notice them.. Read more...
