Fishing Report - Bighorn River, Thermopolis, Wyoming

Flows out of Boysen Reservoir are 825cfs. Water temps are cold. Fishing has been good. Catching a lot of nice fat rainbows nymphing. Red worm and a natural sow bug have been our go-to this week. Other patterns that will work are gray Ray Charles #16, red midge larva #20-22, and black zebra midge or other comparable midge pupa patterns in #18-22. Fish with long leaders (9 foot) and heavy lead and focus on the deep slow water. Fish are stacked in certain holes, take your time in the good water. Watch for ice flows on the lower river north of town and icy boat ramps. Cold snap comes in the next few days but it looks like things will warm up next week. We are still running our off-season special...$100 bucks off full day trips...on the water at 9:30 or 10 and off by 4:00, fishing during the warmest part of the day...lunch included.
