Bighorn River Fishing Update 9/18
It’s quieting down a bit on the river, traffic wise. Fishing has still been fairly good, even though they’re still working on repairs on gates at the dam. Water temps have been up and down, so overall making fishing a bit different each day.
The Tricos are strong most days and there is a good window of fish up in the morning hours taking advantage of them. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update 9/9
Fishing remains good during the morning hours and a bit spotty later afternoon. The BOR is doing repairs on gates at the main dam, so water temps have fluctuated the past couple days. We should see them start to drop again at least by Monday. This should help!
Tricos are still around providing some good fishing for big fish in the morning hours. Read more...

Bighorn Labor Day Weekend Fishing Update
How’s the fishing? Depends on who you ask! I’d say it’s pretty darn good overall. The Upper 3 is getting a bit grassy, but great conditions below. Crowds are thinning and some cooler weather is ahead.
We’re seeing some good Trico activity most mornings. If you’re on the water by 8:30 or so, you should have some targets to throw at. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update 8/26
Flows have dropped down a bit and are currently around 35oo CFS. Fishing has picked up overall, but there are some odd days where it just isn’t happening. Not quite sure why.. It’s a good time of year to fish with a guide!
We’re still seeing some fish on Tricos in the morning hours. Read more...
Bighorn River Update 8/19
We just had another heat wave here on the Bighorn and it was a hot one! It put a damper on the afternoon fishing, but morning has been good. We’re seeing some grass growth throughout the whole system, but the Upper 3 definitely is seeing the bulk of it. Guides are spread out from A to Mallards, so pick your favorite stretch and go!

Bighorn River Fishing Update 8/13
It looks like we’re finally seeing the effects of June’s high water this Summer. Our normally scheduled Summer hatches have been a bit lighter than usual. Fishing has been a bit off and on and maybe more ‘off’ for most. There are still plenty of fish out there and some days are better than others. Read more...
Bighorn River fishing update 8/5
With the recent weather change, the Bighorn fish are a little off their normal program, but overall fishing has been pretty good. The whole river has been steady, but the upper few miles has by far been the most consistent.
Black Caddis are around in the late afternoons into the evenings providing some great dry fly fishing. Read more...
Bighorn River Fishing Update 7/27
Things are looking up here on the Bighorn. Thanks to the Bighorn River Alliance, flows out of Yellowtail dam were shifted from a mix of topwater lake release and some lower level release to lower level only. This helped drop increasing water temperatures to safe (mid 50’s) levels for the near future. Read more...
Bighorn Fishing Update 7/20
Down, Down, Down she goes
GET READY FOLKS the Bighorn is dropping quickly. Fishing has been outstanding during the high water, and as the river drops the fishing seems to be only getting better. 7850 cfs as we write this (vs. 10k+ just yesterday) and dropping like a rock. Word on the street is 5,000 by early next week….we Read more...
