Winter fishing on the Bighorn is about more than catching fish.  Finding those good weather windows where you can get out and fish with some buddies to fish with in the past and enjoying a beer on the river is what it’s about to us.  It also helps when the fishing is good! Read more...

We were wondering when winter was going to get here, well it’s here.  Those of you who got to fish the past few weeks are glad you did!  There will certainly be some solitude on the river for the next week..

The Bighorn fish size continues to impress us this winter.   Read more...

Happy New Year from the Bighorn Angler!  We’re looking forward to 2020 to being a better year as the fish and fishery are in great shape. The fishing has been as good as it gets for winter fishing!  As long as I don’t break my ankle or something else this year, I’ll call it a success! Read more...

Shifting into winter mode here on the Bighorn.  The browns have just about wrapped up their spawn for the year.  We saw good numbers of fish on the redds this Fall, but not quite like the good ol’ days.  The positive side is that there were some BIG fish seen.  Angler numbers have dropped off significantly as most folks are chasing Roosters or waterfowl.   Read more...

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!  Those who came out to the Bighorn valley were rewarded with some solid fishing and hunting (at least we took advantage of it!).  Back into the 40’s this next week and should be a great time to get out and fish.

Strong numbers of Baetis are still around throughout most of the river.   Read more...

It appears as fall is hanging around finally.  We have a span of great weather ahead of us and people are finally coming back out to experience some great fishing the Bighorn has to offer.

The Baetis have been going strong and consistent for about 2 weeks now.  Expect to see some noses poking up around 1:00 or so and fish will be up until around 4:00.   Read more...

We’re nearing the end of a great, but interesting season on the Bighorn and getting prepared for some excellent late Fall/early Winter fishing.  Overall, it’s a ghost town out there most days but the fish are very willing to EAT!

Nymphing has really picked up and now is a good time to start sticking some of those big fish we have in the river this year as they are in peak shape.   Read more...

Fishing is starting to pick up just a bit on the Bighorn.  Low night temps have helped cool the water a bit and the fish seem to be a little more interested in eating.  The crowds are down for the season and the weather is great!

Subsurface fishing is the way to go.   Read more...
