Happy New Year from the Bighorn Angler! We’re looking forward to 2020 to being a better year as the fish and fishery are in great shape. The fishing has been as good as it gets for winter fishing! As long as I don’t break my ankle or something else this year, I’ll call it a success! Read more...

It appears as fall is hanging around finally. We have a span of great weather ahead of us and people are finally coming back out to experience some great fishing the Bighorn has to offer.
The Baetis have been going strong and consistent for about 2 weeks now. Expect to see some noses poking up around 1:00 or so and fish will be up until around 4:00. Read more...
The dog days have set in pretty hard here in the Fort. 103 degrees on Wednesday, ouch. But we are starting to cool off at least for a few days which is a welcome reprieve from the blistering heat of late.

Late summer fishing continues to be good on the Bighorn. There’s a few weeks of busy time left on the river, but crowds have cut down considerably even this past week. The Bighorn fish this summer continue to amaze us with their size and strength, so come on out and give it a shot! Read more...

We just got word last night flows will continue dropping on the Bighorn until Sunday, at which point we should be around the 4000 CFS mark. The fish haven’t minded the changing water and fishing keeps getting better and better!
DRIES: Get here now! It’s getting good! The Caddis fishing (Black and Tan) was EPIC yesterday afternoon and evening and should continue for a while. Read more...
Happy Independence Day everyone!
We’ll just get to the point….fishing is good right now on the Bighorn. With flows at 8,500 and river temps at a perfect 55 degrees the fish are active and feeding. Our guide reports are good numbers of healthy fish in the nets daily. AND THERE IS NO ONE HERE!!! Read more...
Our #1 question and concern from this winter – What’s going on with the Bighorn and what are the flows going to be like this year??
As many of you know the last two years were record water years for the Bighorn and impacted the wade fishing windows, hatches, water clarity, and water temperatures just to name a few. Read more...
