I guess Spring is here?.. The warm weather has brought folks out of the depths of winter and to the Bighorn. A bit busy for this time of year on the weekends, but we’re not complaining! Fishing has been pretty darn good if you’re in the right zones. Many of the fish are found in their normal winter spots, although the water is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year.

Between the wind and well, the wind, there’s been some small windows of opportunity on the Bighorn. Those who have made it down have had good things to say. Winter tailwater fishing at its’ finest right now.
Bighorn fish are eating well the entire span of the river, mainly subsurface. Read more...
What a nice Winter it has been so far! No cold fronts in sight for a while, so this a great window to come fish the Bighorn. The river continues to clear, both visibility and grass, each week. There’s still some grass on the Upper 3, but below that it’s VERY clean. Read more...
Things are starting to look up on the Bighorn. Water clarity has increased dramatically over the past 5 or 6 days. There is some grass in the system, but not like it was a couple weeks ago. Fishing seems to be picking up as well!
This is the time the Bighorn if you’re a streamer junkie. Read more...
Not a whole lot of new things going on here. The wind finally looks like it’s going to take a break. This should be a good week to get out and fish!
Water visibility is still marginal, although we’ve lost a fair amount of the grass that was in the system. Read more...
We just had one of our earliest and most extreme cold snaps for the late Fall season. This is the true start of transition on the Bighorn and ultimately helps clean up the system. That being said, the grass is making its way out, but definitely presents some obstacles in angling. Read more...
Things are looking good on the Bighorn. The water clarity has dramatically improved over the past week. There is a bit of color, especially on the upper river, but once you get down below 3 Mile, clarity has been pretty good (3-4′) and will only improve with the cooler weather ahead of us. Read more...
We’re in Fall transition on the Bighorn. The water clarity is not fantastic, but is not terrible especially toward the lower end of 3-B. Fishing has still been good, but is very spot specific. This is the one time of the year I would say the guides are really earning their $ and getting fish in the boat, while other anglers have challenges ahead of them. Read more...
Good things still happening on the Bighorn. It’s not quite as consistent as previous weeks, but it’s fishing really well overall – A hell of a lot better than the past Septembers! We’re finally seeing Tricos on the majority of the river, and a few big fish are starting to notice them.. Read more...
We hope everyone is enjoying their extended weekend and are getting out to fish. Good things are still going on here on the Bighorn. We’re finally headed towards a big cool down, which should keep the fish happy and the fishing great through September.
The Caddis window is starting to wrap up overall. Read more...
