Current Report
The Bighorn is flowing near 2350 cfs.
These flows started in the spring of
2005 and are allowing the young of
the year Rainbows and Browns to
survive at excellent rates.
We are seeing lots of 1-2 year old
trout and the days of rising pods are
back.
Excellent dry fly fishin this past month
with midges and Baetis hatches goiung
on throughout the day. The days that
the weather has been a bit rough the
nymph fishing has been solid.
Dry fly patterns to use
Midges: 18-20 Sipper midge, 20
Midge Adams,14-22 Griffiths or
posted midge clusters.

The fishing has beeen great, there are
