Summer Fly Fishing in Wyoming Wind River and Bighorn River Guide Report August 2018

Another busy July fly fishing across Dubois and Thermopolis areas has passed and it is time to move on to August. We are pleased to announce that water flows across the state of Wyoming have finally dropped to summer levels and fly fishing has been fantastic! Our guides have been busy guiding the Wind River and tributaries in Dubois, the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, and wrapping up trips on the Green River in Fontenelle and Triassic Lake until the fall season and cooler temperatures start happening.

Our guests have been predominantly catching Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout on dry foam patterns and naturals. If you are fishing in the area, watch for afternoon thunder showers and lightning. Find a safe location and wait it out. It will pass.

Summer Fly Fishing in Wyoming Wind River and Bighorn River Guide Report August 2018

Bighorn River Thermopolis, Wyoming Fishing Guide Report:

Our guides have had a busy July on the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Water flows out of Boysen Dam have dropped to half of what they were a week ago; down to 1875 cfs currently.

Our guides have been reporting hit or miss fishing conditions with some days fishing very well, and other days getting one or two nice trout to the boat a chore. It has been a slow season overall on the Bighorn River with our trout numbers down to half of what they were a few years ago.

If you are planning on fishing the Bighorn River right now, just know that you will have to work hard for them and fish in the boat is not guaranteed. Our guides will work hard despite the conditions to ensure you have a great trip. The fishing conditions should only improve as the water flows level out and cooler temperatures arrive.

Bighorn and Wind River Fishing Guide Report July 10 2018

July 10, 2018 by Jeramie Prine

Bighorn and Wind River Fishing Guide Report July 10 2018: The Bighorn River is starting to quickly drop and current water flow are at 3550 CFS (Click HERE to see most current river data). With the lowering of flows, the river has slowly started to come into shape and fish are more actively feeding on the fly. We definitely have seen an increased number of nice sized trout (19-22 inches) coming to the boat. Fish are still quite picky in what they eat, so taking time and changing flies to figure out what they are keying on is crucial right now. The river will only continue dropping and fishing will continue to get better with more steady and lower water flows. Keep posted for more to come!

Wind River & Dubois, Wyoming Fishing Report: The Wind River is finally coming down and clearing up. If this weather holds, we will be fishing the Wind River any day now. The tributaries are also dropping and wade fishing is becoming easier and the Yellowstone Cutthroats are definitely hungry and looking up for flies. Dubois waters are coming into shape and you cannot beat the mountain scenery on pristine freestone streams. We have been busy guiding both Dubois area and the Bighorn River. Keep posted for more reports to come with another busy week on the water. If you are interested in a fly fishing trip or have any questions, we can be reached on our CONTACT PAGE.

Not only have our guests caught some beautiful trout on the fly rod, but they have also seen some amazing mountainous country and amazing wildlife.

All guests were safe and with bear spray and there was not an incident. Experiences and fishing like this is why we guide in Dubois, Wyoming.

Our guests Barry and Laurie had a lights out day with multiple trout (Browns, Cutthroats, and Rainbows) brought to the boat. This was not their first rodeo and they absolutely slayed it. We snapped a few trout off that were unbelievable.

Dubois Wyoming Fishing Wind River Mountains

Our guides have been busy scouting and guiding on Dubois waters since the Wind River itself is blown out right now. There is plenty to fish in Dubois, Wyoming if you know where to look, and it definitely helps to have a boat to access some of the mountain lakes in the Wind River Mountains. We have several trips going out in Dubois over the next few weeks and we look forward to reporting on conditions as they become more favorable.

Thanks to the locally run and owned Cutthroat Fly Shop in Dubois (website coming soon) for the great trip with the Atlanta and South Carolina crew. We had a great day on the water yesterday! If you are in Dubois, be sure to stop in the shop for all your fly fishing gear and needs.

Bighorn River Green River Wind River Fishing Guide Report

Bighorn River Green River Wind River Fishing Guide Report

Bighorn River Green River Wind River Fishing Guide Report

Bighorn River Fishing Report: What can we say? It is early summer runoff for the Bighorn River. Our water flows have gone from 1800 CFS up to 4000 CFS this week. We are seeing off colored water and a lot of moss floating in the river. Fishing is slow right now until the flows stabilize at this new level. We will probably see the Bighorn River at 4000+ CFS for the next ten days or until the runoff has subsided. We should see a more normal water year this summer unlike last year that had massive big flows. There is even talk about eventually dropping the Bighorn River to normal irrigation flows (1300-1500 CFS) as soon as runoff is over. Fishing will remain tough until the river settles down and flows stabilize. Hot flies: annelids, baetis, and attractor patterns.

Bighorn River Green River Wind River Fishing Guide Report

Green River Fishing Report: Our guides have been having good success catching Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout on the Green River near Fontenelle, Wyoming. The river has bumped up to 6500 CFS, but our guides love to fish these larger flows on the Green River and our guests have great success during this time of year. By the end of the summer, we quit guiding on the Green River due to high water temperatures. We still have plenty of great days of fishing to be had on the Green. Hot flies: baetis, sow bugs, annelids and streamers have been productive. Heads rising on the right day,

Wind River Dubois Fishing Report: The Wind River in Dubois is starting to peak in runoff and still not really worth fishing. There is still plenty of great fishing opportunities to be had on the several tributaries of the Wind River and plenty of lakes that are fishing very well. Our guides know every nook and cranny to be fished right now and are happy to show you a few of our early season fishing spots right now. It will not be too long before the Wind River starts coming down and we are fishing it! Keep posted for more to come.

Green River Fishing Report Fontenelle Wyoming

Green River Fishing Report Fontenelle Wyoming The fly fishing this spring on the Green River has been very decent. We have been enjoying fishing the Green River since February due to not as much snow in the drainage this season. With that said Green River flows are have started bumping up.

Guide Jeff Judkins and long time guest Ed spent two days on the Green River. Fishing was very good with great weather compared to other parts of the state up north. The guys found success on a variety of flies, and blue wing olives were in full hatch with more cloud cover. The guys got into some nice and healthy Browns and Rainbows.

Green River water flows will be doubling water flows by the end of this week from 3000 cfs to 6000 cfs by Thursday May 24, 2018. To follow the most current water flows on the Green River click HERE.
