It’s game on here on the Bighorn! PMD’s showed up big time with the heat wave that hit us. However you want to catch them (Dries, nymphs, streamers) this is the time!
We’re seeing good numbers of fish up on PMD’s, which is a bit early this year, but we’ll take it. Read more...
We just got news that flows are on the drop according to the Bighorn River Alliance. Flows will be at 5000 cfs today and 4500 by tomorrow. This means great news for Spring dry fly fishing and more wade fishing spots!
If you haven’t made a reservation for a Spring trip, we do have a few slots still open. Read more...
Looks like flows are scheduled to drop to 5500 CFS by Monday afternoon. From that point, we’ll see, but should keep on the drop. Fishing has been very very good lately with lots of happy anglers out there!
The Baetis are starting to show up and some days we’re finding fish up in the afternoons and evenings. Read more...
Fishing has been really good the past few days since flows have stabilized and water temps are up a bit. It’s been busy, but it’s a big river and plenty of places to fish!
Nymphing has been stellar with big Sowbugs (Red Bead Carpet Bugs, Red Bead Rays, Cotton Candy, Pink Bead Carpet Bugs) the whole river. Read more...
It’s go time on the Bighorn! Our Spring has kicked off and many anglers are enjoying the weather and fishing. It’s been good overall, but definitely somewhat spotty. The flows have been on the rise and projected to cap off around 6000 CFS this week. The river is cold and clear and a bit of drifting moss below 3 Mile, but not too bad! Read more...
The river is finally waking up and we’re seeing some excellent fishing! The river is in fantastic shape and flows are right around 3000 cfs. It was a busy weekend and expect the trend to continue! We had some guide trips out this past week and they did very well and reported a lot of 16-20″ fish as the norm. Read more...
Spring is coming a bit early to the Bighorn Valley. We snuck out yesterday and experienced some very solid fishing! There was a healthy range of fish from 14-20″ and a few bigger. We’re seeing a good mix of rainbows of browns, which will make for a promising season!
Nymphing has been very consistent in the slower drops and buckets. Read more...
It’s been a little bit since I’ve posted an update, but good news is not much has changed! The Bighorn is in prime Winter shape. Gin clear, fantastic clarity and cold water temps. The weather lately has been insanely nice, so of course more than a few folks are taking advantage of it. Read more...
It looks like we’re entering that time of the year where the river conditions aren’t optimal, but the fish are handling it pretty well! Bighorn Lake has turned and we’re seeing the infamous green water throughout most of the upper river. Once you’re down below about the Bighorn Club, clarity has been noticeably better. Read more...
It’s real close to go time folks! Increasing numbers of PMD’s and Caddis in the early afternoon signal it could break loose any day now. Water temps are in the mid 40’s early in the morning and approaching low 50’s throughout much of the lower end of the river. There are no closures or ‘Hoot Owl’ restrictions on the Bighorn right now!
