What a great summer it’s been on the ‘Horn!  Low, cold flows have provided us with tremendous hatches and the fish are in about as good of shape as we’ve seen in some time.  We’re nearing the end of Summer but the warm weather is sticking around.

The Tricos are starting to make an appearance below 3 Mile and as far down as you want to look.  Read more...

It is fully game on!  PMD’s and Caddis have exploded the past few days.  Water temps remain in the low to upper 50’s (depending on the time of the day).  Dries, Nymphs, Streamers, it’s about as good as Summer fishing gets right now!  No hoot owl restrictions for us!

We’re seeing a couple good windows throughout the river about 9-10 AM and then again late afternoon.  Read more...

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...

Bighorn River flows have dropped to 2500 CFS as of today.  We should stay in this range for the rest of the Summer.  This is a great thing!  The water is cold and clear and setting up nicely for our Summer hatches.

A few PMD’s and Black Caddis have started showing up, but we’re a couple weeks out still for primetime.  Read more...

It looks like Summer is officially here!  Flows are currently at 4000 cfs and talk of dropping to 3500 is a probability.  The river remains gin clear with some drifting moss below 3 Mile.  The fishing has been very steady this past week and we are impressed with the size and quantity of big fish in the system!

Bighorn River flows are stable at 5000 cfs. The river is super clear, but there is some drifting junk below 3 Mile.  There are still plenty of wade options at this flow.  Most importantly, fish are happy and eating well!

Sowbugs and little Baetis nymphs and Perdigons are the name of the game right now for bobber fishing.  Read more...

Well it looks like the B.O.R. flow forecast was a bit off for this month.  Flows will be back up to 5000cfs as of this afternoon.  The river fished great yesterday during the flow bump.  We just need to get it to stop raining!

The Baetis have come back pretty heavy later in the afternoons on the cloudier days. Read more...

Bighorn River flows have stabilized at 4k CFS.  There was talk of going to 3500, but looks like they’re holding off for a bit.  The river is in great shape although there is just a bit of drifting moss below 3 Mile. It’s all fishing really well!

Our Spring Baetis have been a bit hit and miss.  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...
