Bighorn River Report
March 7, 2011
The flow has been around 2390 cfs and the river is in great shape from the Afterbay down to Mallards. The water temperature is still very cold at 39-40 degrees. Each day there has been approximately a 4 hour window from 11-3 where the fish are eating lots of midges. There are a handful of baetis as well. Streamer fishing and nymphing are very good.
