We’re in for cooler conditions this week which should make for some great Baetis fishing. Water temps are still hovering around the 39-40 degree mark which has kept the fishing pretty good, but we are all looking for the warmup to get here soon!
The upper 3 continues to see the best Baetis and Midge hatches in the late afternoons. Read more...
Great water and weather conditions are on tap for our region, so don’t forget to take Mom fishing this weekend! The fishing been a bit day-to-day overall and really depends on who you talk to. Many of the guides are doing great, but of course have their programs ‘dialed.’ Water temps are slowly climbing in the right direction and this week of warm weather should definitely help!

Spring is crawling in slowly to our region. Water temps are still well below where they normally are for this time of year, but we don’t have the higher flows (8K +) we saw the previous few Springs, so it’s a bit of a tradeoff. Overall fishing has been a bit off and on. Read more...
Flows came up a bit the past couple days and we’re now at 3500 cfs. As expected, water temps dipped a bit more but the fish continue to look up. It’s getting busier out there and the traffic is spread out. It’s still fishing a little spotty overall, but it’s good once you find them. Read more...
It’s just about there! I know I keep saying this every week, but it really is this time. We had a couple really solid days this past week with good amounts of fish looking up for Baetis. Fishing overall was pretty solid this past week and will continue to get better when (if) the water starts warming up. Read more...
We’re just about there folks. Increasing numbers of Baetis are abound and a few more fish are looking up. Water temps are still cooler than normal for this time of year, but the fish are ready to transition into Spring mode. Any day now!
On another positive note, we are still on track for a NORMAL WATER YEAR! Read more...
Things have quieted down a bit this past week. There are still a handful of folks around, but it will be ramping up here in about a week. Fishing remains solid, and right now is a matter of finding the fish vs. pattern selection. We had a slight bump in water a few days back and water temps dropped just a bit, keeping our fish in the slower winter-like runs. Read more...
Spring conditions have settled in here on the Bighorn. Lots of people are taking advantage of the great early season Spring fishing we have. Stay away from Friday-Sunday if you don’t like people! Depending on who you talk to, the fishing is anywhere from tough to fantastic. Book a trip with us and you will have a shot at the later. Read more...
Spring conditions are making their way to the Bighorn and many folks are coming out to take advantage. Overall the fishing has been pretty good, but not fantastic. The water temps are still very cold, so winter-like conditions are still abound. Avoid the weekends as the crowds are starting to show up. Read more...
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...
