As expected, August has been nothing short of great. Water levels are prime and the fish are in fantastic shape. The upper 3 has seen the most hatch activity, but also about 70% of the traffic. The fish are well spread out though and everyone is coming back from their days on the water pretty happy! Read more...
Flows are down, fish are up, and mid-summer fishing is in full swing. First week of August is in the books and it’s brought lots of smiles to our guides and dry fly crowds. The river isn’t packed side to side, top to bottom with rising fish all day, but they are where they should be and really good at times. Read more...
We just got word last night flows will continue dropping on the Bighorn until Sunday, at which point we should be around the 4000 CFS mark. The fish haven’t minded the changing water and fishing keeps getting better and better!
DRIES: Get here now! It’s getting good! The Caddis fishing (Black and Tan) was EPIC yesterday afternoon and evening and should continue for a while. Read more...

It looks like we are actually headed in the right direction! Flows are being decreased each day 500 CFS until we hit 7000 CFS Thursday afternoon. It’s put some of the fish off a bit, but there are plenty of more who seem happy to eat your bugs!

It appears as our flows are finally on the way down (9100 CFS as of last night). This should be the last of it, should be.. Fishing remains really consistent and will only continue to get better as the water comes down, which should be very soon.
