BIGHORN RIVER REGIONAL UPDATE –
The Crow Tribe has instituted a great deal of confusion with a recent order indicating they intend to set up roadblocks to turn away non-residents and close the lake and river accesses.In spite of their directive, we have not seen the tribe attempt to interfere in any way with traffic coming down highway 313.

Conditions on the Bighorn are prime right now for Summer fishing. PMD’s are still the main event and they are as thick as can be on most days. It’s a bit busier out there, but with the whole river fishing well, you can pick fish out of many spots.
If you’re looking to hunt fish on the surface, plan on about 1 PM till dark. Read more...
We’re currently experiencing some of the best PMD fishing we’ve seen in years on the Bighorn. The fish are eating them with reckless abandon (a good presentation is still necessary) but it’s damn good! Here is one of our favorite PMD nymphs ever that works across the West and is especially good on the Bighorn. Read more...
Flows have been up and down on the Bighorn, and at this point, we are looking at the later. The river is scheduled to be at 2500 CFS by the next couple of days and should stay at that level throughout the remainder of the Summer season.
The good news is the fishing has been really good! 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!
Dry fly fishing is getting better and better! Read more...
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.
Summer dry fly fishing has kicked off and we’re seeing great numbers of PMD’s, Black Caddis and Yellow Sallies. Read more...
Flows are back up to 9500 CFS but the fish don’t seem to mind! We’re seeing good numbers of PMD’s and Sallies in the mid day and Black Caddis are starting to make an appearance in the evenings. There are finally a decent amount of fish up in side channels and softer edges. Read more...
