The fishing has been very steady this past week and we are impressed with the size and quantity of big fish in the system! Read more...

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...

Flows are currently up on the Bighorn and will hit the 4k CFS mark by this afternoon. Definitely not ‘high flows’ by any standards, but actually getting to maybe our favorite levels for fishing the river. The only downsides have been a slight drop in water temps (was 40-43, now 39-41) and a bit of debris drifting, mainly below 3 Mile access. Read more...
The Bighorn River is currently experiencing fantastic fishing conditions! With light crowds and clear skies, it’s a great time to be on the water.
Nymphing has been very productive, with sowbugs and midge pupae being the hot flies. Jellybeans, Cotton Candy, Carpet Bugs, Firebeads, Zebras, Green Weenies and various Perdigons are working most of the day. 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...
