Bighorn River Report
Hopper Fishing Starts on the Bighorn - July 26, 2011
Finally the in flow is less than the outflow. Which means that probably by the end of the week, we will likely see drops in the river flows.
The hopper fishing has started and has been pretty good. We still have PMD’s hatching as well as black caddis. Have seen some tan caddis as well.
Nymphing has been excellent with San Juan worms, sow bugs and PMD’s.
We are looking forward to the lowering of the water although the fishing during the high water has been fantastic. Now there will be more wading and easier access to the fish.
We have openings in August, but don’t wait too long. Everyone that has been waiting for the flows to decrease are now making their plans to fish the Bighorn.
Give us a call to check availability.
Our best wishes,
Ellyn and Michael
