Current Report
Fishing on the Horn is fair
to good right now, I would
rate it about a 5/6. The
shop is open and boat
rentals are by appointment
only. If you need to rent a
boat or browse the shop call
and leave us your name and
number and we will get back
to you. Offical opening day
is March 1st 2005. We will
be starting the new season
with a brand new fleet of
Hyde Pro Series Drift boats.
Special Report
Look for Bighorn Angler to
be hosting the T.V. program
Familiar Waters this spring.
Taping starts in late Nov.
and will air sometime in May
on OUT
We will also be featuring
brand new top of the line
Hyde Pro Series drift boats
starting this spring. All 6
boats will be brand new
right off the lot and will
be changed out every season
to keep our clients in the
best built, easiest rowing,
nicest looking, and most
comfortable fishing machines
on the Bighorn Horn.
One-Week Fishing Forecast
The next 7 days looks to be
the stuff mid-winter fishing
dreams are made of. Today a
high of 45 with expected
highs in the mid 50's by
friday.
Two-Week Fishing Forecast
The warm spell is in the
forcast for at least 10
days. So give us a call,
rent a boat and we will get
you on the water to chase
away your case of cabin
fever.
Hatch Info
Look for some good midge
action during this warm
spell. Best results have
been on a Tube Worm (San
Juan Worms)
and grey or tan soft hackle
sow bugs
