Bighorn River flow update

 Releases from Boysen reservoir have increased to 1100cfs. Not sure how much higher she'll go. 

Fishing remains good despite the mossy conditions 

Lots of big fish have been hooked and landed this last week... with even more hooked and lost... they're still swimming around out there. 

Big Horn River Flow Update - May Fishing Report - Thermopolis

 Releases from Boysen reservoir have been raised to a little over 900cfs as of last Thursday. Its been pretty mossy but is starting to clear a little bit. Not sure when/if we will get another bump of water

Still getting fish to eat sow bugs, baetis nymphs, and midges. Streamer fishing has been real good some days... other days not so much.

We only have a few dates left open for May... its going to be a busy summer for all of us here guiding on the Big Horn... let's nail down some fishing time!

April Fishing Report

 Busy little April we've got here. Fishing has been good for the most part... north wind has shut down the bite last couple days but we've got some real nice shitty weather coming up... good for the big fish and the BWOs

Tom caught a great brown on his first day fly fishing the Big Horn River

River is still around 600 cfs. Snowpack is +- 90%. Hopefully we will see an increase in flows by May. Blue wings are hatching and if a guy or gal wanted to dedicate some time to dry fly fishing ya could end up finding a handful of nice fish rising. Lots of pods of smaller 10" fish are eating dries like crazy. Sow bugs and baetis nymphs are still producing well under the indicator. 

Couple available days at the end of this month. Give us a call 307-921-0475 if ya wanna go fishing. 

May is the unsung month... water temps warm up a bit and most anglers find other places to fish..

Get those thumbs up!

March Fishing Report - Big Horn River, Thermopolis WY

 Flows are still around 600cfs. 

Snowpack is 90%. Hopefully we get some spring moisture. 

Lots of smaller fish in the river this year so summer is looking good for dry fly fishing. Rainbows are in full spawn mode right now so you should avoid shallow gravel bottoms. Sow bugs and midges seem to be prevalent food sources with a few small baetis nymphs showing up in stomach samples. Little fish 10-12" are eating midge and bwo dries.

Pretty fun fishing on the river right now as spring starts to reveal herself. Lots of little guys are keeping the action consistent but your next cast could be the trout of a lifetime

March is staying busy with a few dates available next week and April is shaping up like a fine month for fishing. 

Cooooold

 Finally breaking the zero degree mark today. Oughtta be into the 40s by next weekend. We have a few trips going out at the end of the month and March is filling in... 

Fishing was good before the cold hit us. Lots of nice trout eating sow bugs and midges. 

The Big Horn River flow is around 600cfs below Boysen Reservoir 

New Year... new fishin report

 Well some of you folks may know, but for those of you that don't... we left and came back. We are guiding full time in Thermopolis these days. 

Last season the Big Horn River saw normal to low flows and the big fish flourished. Snowpack is below average as of right now so we should see similar conditions this year on the river. 

Want to go fishing? Give me a call 307-921-0475  middle February is looking to be a good time on the Big Horn
