Bighorn River Fishing Report: Thermopolis, Wyoming

Bighorn River Fishing Report

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Thermopolis, Wyoming

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Thermopolis, Wyoming: No Spring Flush this year on the Bighorn River according to the Chief of Water Operations. Typically, every March the Bureau of Reclamation will conduct a spring flush to wash out sediment and debris from the river to help with spawning and trout habitat. However, due to the high water we have seen this last year and through the winter there is not a need to have a spring flush. River flows are projected to increase to 2000 CFS in the next few days and will probably reach 3000 CFS by the end of the month. River flows from then on will be highly dependent on what spring will bring with moisture and melt. 

 Current water flows: Wind River/Bighorn River 

Fishing on the Bighorn River has steadily gotten better from the middle of winter. Warmer weather is helping the fishing and bringing quite a few anglers eager to shake the cabin fever to the river.  We ask fishermen to avoid fishing to podded up rainbow trout on their redds (spawning beds) in shallow water. Fish the drop offs and deeper runs and you will catch just as many fish. Hot flies right now include: sow bugs, midges, annelids, leeches

Bighorn & Wind River Fishing Report Wyoming Winter

Bighorn & Wind River Fishing Report Wyoming: It is still definitely winter in Wyoming, but there is plenty of open water fishing to be had on the Bighorn, Wind and Green Rivers in western Wyoming should you have a bit of cabin fever.

Bighorn River: Thermopolis, Wyoming Fishing Report: Fishing is good right now on the right day with the right weather. Thermopolis has had a good week of weather and it should continue through the weekend. A big change from the past few weeks with winter storms moving through. The mountains surrounding the Bighorn Basin have been receiving snow, but not excessive amounts. The Game and Fish have released fish shock results, and fish numbers do seem to be down to 1100 fish per mile. We have had a few pretty big water years and crazy conditions. Our guides and clients have been still catching nice big trophy browns and rainbows. Most fisheries would dream of having those numbers and size of fish. Bottom line, the Bighorn River is still a classified Blue Ribbon Trout River despite lower numbers. Hot flies right now: sow bugs, midges, annelids, eggs, leeches and streamers on the right day. We have trips going out this month so please keep posted on fishing reports and conditions.

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Winter Brown Trout

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Cast & Blast-We had a great day waterfowl hunting and fly fishing on the Bighorn River yesterday! The warmer weather (38 degrees) and sunshine were fully welcomed! The Bighorn River flows are at 1254 CFS  and Boysen Reservoir is slowly emptying for spring run-off. The best time of the day for fishing the river right now is from 10 am to 3 pm when temperatures are warmest. Standard winter tailwater flies are productive right now including: annelids, midges, and sow bugs. So far boat ramps are still accessible and there is little ice on the river despite the cold temperatures the last few weeks, but caution is still advised. There is a considerable amount of snow in Thermopolis right now, but the fishing is good if you don’t mind a little cold weather and ice on your fly rod guides.

Bighorn River Waterfowl Hunting Thermopolis, WY

Duck season is now closed on the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. We had a fun day yesterday finishing out the duck season with a few ducks and a goose. There were a lot of ducks and geese flying. It was a productive and beautiful day to hunt topped off with fishing. Nothing beats combining both hunting and fishing in one day and finding success in both! Duck hunting may be over, but there is still some time to concentrate on goose hunting until the end of the month. There seems to be plenty in the area.

Reminder to drift boat anglers: Please do not forget to purchase your 2018 AIS sticker and/or get your boat inspected if you are coming from out of state. To see more information please visit the Wyoming Game and Fish AIS Program. The Game & Fish have frequent check stations on and off the river, and the fine is steep. We want to keep our pristine waters free of aquatic invasive species.

Pete’s Pond: Dubois, Wyoming Fishing

Dubois, Wyoming Fishing Report: Pete’s Pond: Dubois, Wyoming has a new addition for 2018! We are super excited to see all of the hard work that Dubois Anglers & Wildlife Group (DAWGS) has put into the construction of Pete’s Pond come to life! Pete’s Pond is now full and almost complete. DAWGS still has a few more projects left to complete: fishing piers, bridge over the outlet, sidewalks and landscape work. They have raised an amazing amount of money for this community pond, but need just a little more help to wrap it up for people to enjoy it. To help support Pete’s Pond, please visit Dubois Anglers & Wildlife Group webpage. A huge thanks to all who have contributed to Pete’s Pond. It will have a positive lasting effect for wildlife and people for generations.

Happy New Year from Wyoming 2018 Fishing Season is Here!

Bighorn River Wyoming Winter Fishing

Bighorn River, Green River, Dubois Fly Fishing Report: Happy New Year and we are looking forward to a fishy 2018 season! We had a very busy fall guiding and hunting. 2018 has officially started and we are looking forward to upcoming trips on the Bighorn River and Green River. 

Bighorn River: Thermopolis, Wyoming: The Bighorn River flows have finally stabilized at 1252 CFS. Boysen Reservoir is currently 88% full and the Bureau of Reclamation is letting more water out than inflow. Water flows were all over the place this fall and it is nice to have some stability. The Bighorn is floatable and fishable right now, but is high for winter season. Might be tough to place decoys for the waterfowl hunters, but for fishing, we like higher water levels. Keep posted as we have trips going out on the Bighorn River.

Green River: Fontenelle, Wyoming: We are looking forward to getting back on the Green River for the 2018 season. What a BIG water year it was on the Green River! Fishing remained good despite large river flows this season. We have not been on the Green River since November and are really looking forward to upcoming trips! River flows are at 1700 cfs and on a calm day the fishing can be outstanding. Keep posted for upcoming reports on the Green River below Fontenelle, Wyoming.

Dubois & Wind River, Wyoming: The Wind River in Dubois, Wyoming is fishable on the right day. The river is about the best it has looked all season. It was a big water year in Dubois as well, but we had plenty of water to fish despite the challenging conditions on the Wind River. Our friend and guide Leon has been having some good days on the Wind this season. Temperatures and winds have been pretty harsh in Fremont County, but on the right day the fishing can be stellar.

Current Fishing Report:  Our guides have been extremely busy with guests this fall on the Wind River, Bighorn River, and taking clients to the different streams in Dubois, Wyoming. The Bighorn River has drastically dropped water flows to roughly 900 cfs (down from 9000 cfs earlier this year). Fall has reached Wyoming with cooler temperatures and our first snow up in the high country. Fishing is very good right now and the weather is perfect. We will put out a more detailed report in the next day or two. Keep posted.
