Happy Independence Day everyone!

We’ll just get to the point….fishing is good right now on the Bighorn.  With flows at 8,500 and river temps at a perfect 55 degrees the fish are active and feeding.  Our guide reports are good numbers of healthy fish in the nets daily.  AND THERE IS NO ONE HERE!!!  Read more...

Things are shaping up great for the Bighorn.  Flows are on the drop again and water temps are still prime, but not getting too warm like last year.  The river is scheduled to be at 8500 CFS by the end of today and should sit there for the weekend.  We’re not sure what happens next, but as inflows to the lake drop, our section will drop as well.

The Army Corps of Engineers has given the all clear to bump the flows up after tampering them down the last couple weeks to help with catastrophic flooding in the Midwest.  Flows went up 500 cfs yesterday to 6500 and they are going up another 1000 today. The runoff inflows to the lake have stabilized at 5500 and while we don’t know exactly how high the flows will get in our neck of the woods, our guess is not much higher than 7500 unless we experience significant amounts of rain over the next few weeks.   Read more...

We got word that the river will be decreasing by 500 CFS at least once a day, possibly twice, until we hit ‘X” flow.  We’re still waiting to hear what ‘X’ is.  Current flows are at the 5500 cfs mark.  The Corps of Engineers is taking preventative measures to cut down on flooding in lower reaches of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.

We hope all of you are enjoying your Memorial weekend and thank you to all of those who serve, fight today and gave their lives for our Country!!

River flows have been on the way up for the past few days making things a bit interesting.  I guess ‘inconsistent’ is another word to use.   Read more...

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...
