The Bighorn continues to impress us with how long it’s giving us good fishing this Summer/Fall.
Good numbers of Black Caddis and Tan Caddis along with Psuedos have fish looking up as long, as it’s not too windy. The fish have not been pushovers and are well educated at this point in the season, but plenty of big ones are available. Read more...
Overall, the river has been fishing well, although there are some moments of ‘off and on’ fishing. We’re definitely seeing a transition period as we’re moving into early Fall and the river did just bump up almost 200 CFS since yesterday. Still pretty busy overall, so if you don’t like people, wait till November.. Read more...
PMD madness continues on the Bighorn. If you want to see the Bighorn in its prime dry fly glory, this is the time. From about noon till dark, you will be able to find consistent heads up and plenty of bugs. We’re seeing a handful of Caddis, especially below 3 Mile. Read more...
It’s finally happening out here! Great hatches of PMD’s, Black Caddis and even a few Tan Caddis are going on right now. If you like ‘techy’ dry fly fishing for big fish, this is the time to be here! Early afternoon – Dark will have plenty of targets up to fish to. Read more...
Cold and low flows are still the name of the game on the Bighorn. It looks like we’ll be sitting at the 1750 CFS mark for quite some time. The good news is our river is staying clear and water temps in the mid 40’s. Still a fair amount of moss below 3 Mile, so keep your bugs clean! Read more...
Summer got here quick! Temps up in the mid 90’s this week should make things interesting… Despite the weather, the Bighorn remains cold, clear and low. We’re seeing a fair amount of drifting moss below 3 Mile, making for some tricky fishing down there, but if you keep your bugs clean, they’ll eat (that’s the theory at least). Read more...
Well, it looks like our dismal snowpack has caught up to us. As of 4 PM yesterday, Bighorn River flows are down at 1980 CFS. Low incoming flows to Bighorn Lake and no snow are the root of this. I can safely say we will NOT have high water this season. Read more...
Bighorn River flows have settled in @ 2500 CFS the past few days. Fishing remains pretty solid overall. Plenty of big ones still filling the nets and smaller fish as well! We are finally seeing the rainbows in full on spawn mode, so please be mindful of these fish and let them do their thing. Read more...
It’s been a solid past few days on the Bighorn as fishing has stabilized and has been very consistent, especially for large fish. Our guides are bringing in good numbers of fish as well. Water temps are still a bit cooler but this is great news for the upcoming Summer. Read more...
The Bighorn has been very consistent lately. Consistent in the fact that the fishing is great one day, then tough the next. The good news is there have been more good days than tough ones. It’s been busy out there as everyone is looking to land some of the beastly fish coming out of the river. Read more...
