Bighorn River Fishing Report, Thermopolis

Flow is around 1500cfs. The flush helped the floating moss situation tremendously and cleaned up a lot of the banks... But the floating junk is escalating. And the river is a little greener and little warmer than I like it. Fishing early is a good idea.

Nymphing has been okay so long as you can clean flies efficiently. Tricos have been thick but not very many fish up eating them.

We've been pretty busy on the river with clients the last couple weeks... and the fishing could be better. ..but we are catching some nice fish...

Tilman and Gray came out from South Carolina and fished with guide Steve Beazley yesterday and found some nice rainbows

Also seeing some fat browns on the chow...had a day with a single gentleman on Wednesday that got 4 browns in a row 20-22. All day please. And if those clouds ever move in ya might see some of that on the surface.

I'm thinking fishing should get better by mid August.  Until then practice your moss slapping techniques and pray for rain...but not too much.
