Fishing is really starting to pick up on the Bighorn. Flows are up to 3200 CFS as of this morning and the river remains nice and clear. It’s getting a bit busier out there, but still plenty of good spots to get into fish.
The Spring Baetis are starting to make a big appearance and we’re seeing more and more fish on them daily. Read more...
Recent colder weather reminds us that Spring in Montana can be cruel. It also can result in great fishing, which is where things are headed. The Spring Baetis are slowly growing in numbers and along with prevalent Midge hatches, it’s getting closer to one of our favorite dry fly seasons of the year. Read more...
Spring is finally here on the Bighorn. It’s getting busier out there but the fishing has been very solid. A bit more dry fly activity and great nymph fishing overall.
The Spring BWO’s are lingering around but haven’t really kicked off yet. I’d say another 10-14 days, but who knows. We just need water temps to jump a couple more degrees to the mid 40’s during the heat of the day and more bugs to get the fish looking at them. Read more...
The Bighorn continues to kick out great fishing as we enter Spring. A-3, 3-B, they’re all good sections to fish right now. There are a few more people around on the weekends and pretty quiet on the weekdays, but overall plenty of room to fish!
Not a lot has changed pattern wise. Read more...
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.

Between the wind and well, the wind, there’s been some small windows of opportunity on the Bighorn. Those who have made it down have had good things to say. Winter tailwater fishing at its’ finest right now.
Bighorn fish are eating well the entire span of the river, mainly subsurface. Read more...
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...
