Bighorn River Fishing Report
Last Updated: 8/30/2010
Last Updated: 8/30/2010
Current Report
Flows are consistent about 2,500 cfs.
Special Report
Fishing has been good, but somewhat inconsistent. Some days are great, others not so much.
One-Week Fishing Forecast
Temps this week look below normal with a 50% chance of moisture through Wednesday. Highs the first part of the week in the upper 60's to lower 70's. Later in the week upper 70's to lower 80's.
Hot Fly Patterns
Dry flies- Miller Time Hopper in sz 12-10. Morish's Hopper in pink have been good in sizes 12-10 as well. Yellow bellied hopper patterns are still catching fish though, so try the Rainy's Grand Hopper in tan and cream in sizes 12-8.
As for nymphs, we have been having solid luck on Wire Worms (brown or red sizes 4-6) and trailing a pheasant tail nymph with or without the flashback (sz 16). Grey Ray Charles will get some fish too (sz 18-16) You can lighten up the split shot finally, water is down!
River Flows
2,500 cfs @ Ft. Smith (Afterbay)
(As of Thursday at 4 pm)
Water Temperature
Ranging from high 50's to lower 60's depending on releases
