River flows have dropped to 13,000 cfs. All indications would say it should continue to drop – but we don’t know for sure.
Fishing has remained very good. We are starting to see PMD’s, yellow sallies and black caddis. As these hatches increase the fish will look for them more and more. Last years’ PMD hatch provided many incredible evenings of fishing.
We are keeping our eyes peeled for hoppers. They are starting to look for them. As the water levels get closer to 10,000 cfs, more wade fishing becomes more of an option.
The Bighorn is fishing good and not much else in the state of Montana is fishing as well.
