Bighorn River Fishing News Spring Flush

March 18, 2019 by Jeramie Prine

Bighorn River Fishing News Spring Flush: Many people have been wondering if there will be a spring flush on the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming this year. Unfortunately, there will not be a spring flush this March. According to the Bureau of Reclamation, there is not enough inflow to conduct the spring flush this year unless we receive a lot more moisture in the next week.

The Bureau of Rec. is looking at bumping flows the first part of May to 2100-2200 until the spring runoff is over. We had enough “flushing” or big water the past few years. A normal water year looks to be the case.

Winter Fly Fishing Bighorn and Wind River in Wyoming

March 9, 2019 by Jeramie Prine

Winter Fly Fishing Bighorn and Wind River in Wyoming: Winter is still hanging on in Dubois and Thermopolis, Wyoming. The Bighorn River and Wind River (near town) is still free of ice despite our cold spell that has fallen into both basins. It has been cold, but the rivers have been uncrowded and fishing pretty well.

It is starting to get into the Rainbow Trout spawn. We ask that anglers do not beat up on the redds and spawning fish. It is simple enough to fish the deeper runs downriver of these spawning beds, and you avoid a confrontation with other anglers who may not be so nice about fishing the shallow water. These spawning beds are the future of the fishery and it is our duty as anglers to help protect these areas.

Wind River & Bighorn River Fishing Report

February 13, 2019 by Jeramie Prine

Wind River & Bighorn River Fishing Report: The Bighorn River in Thermopolis and the Wind River in Dubois, Wyoming have been fishing well despite some winter conditions. Both rivers are free of ice for the most part. The Wind River in Dubois is frozen west of town, but is free of ice in town and east of town to the Wind River Reservation boundary.

Our guides are still hitting the river and taking trips out despite it still being winter. We are looking forward to another great season, and dates are starting to fill up for the summer. It looks like we will have a regular water year unless our spring changes significantly. We are looking forward to a “normal” year as far as runoff is concerned.

Bighorn River Wyoming Fish Count for 2018

December 21, 2018 by Jeramie Prine

Bighorn River Wyoming Fish Count for 2018 : The Wyoming Game and Fish has just released fish count numbers for the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. As many anglers know, we have had a few big water years that has been hard on trout populations. Last year’s fish count came in at 1100 trout per mile. This year’s count is looking promising with 1660 trout per mile. While not the 3600 trout per mile in years’ past. This is a positive sign that trout are doing well and hopefully we are on rise…pun intended.

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!

Bighorn and Wind River Fishing Guide Report July 10 2018

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.

Dubois Wyoming Fishing Guide Report Wind River Tributaries Our guides have been busy guiding in Dubois, Wyoming the past two weeks and the rivers and tributaries are coming into shape very nicely right now. We have been predominantly catching nice sized Cutthroat Trout and the fishing is improving by the day. Our guides have been doing well with dry flies and nymphs.

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. On a guided trip, we recently had the amazing experience of seeing a sow and cub grizzly bear along the same river we were fishing. 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.

June 30, 2018 by Jeramie Prine

Green River Fontenelle Wyoming Fishing Guide Report Our guides have been very busy the past two weeks and the summer fishing season is kicking off nicely with a lot of big healthy fish brought to the boat and wonderful guests. This report we will focus on the Green River below Fontenelle with more reports to come on Dubois and the Bighorn River.

The water levels and the fly fishing are very good on the Green River right now. Water levels have tapered off from the 6000 CFS last week and are down to 3470 CFS today. 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.

Our guides have over ten years of guiding these waters and are very knowledgeable when it comes to fishing the Green River below Fontenelle. It is truly an amazing fishery and we are very grateful to be able to guide this river. To see current river flows click HERE.
