Moss, grass, and variable river flows
Bighorn River Wyoming Fishing Report: This weekend the fly fishing in Thermopolis started lights out with guide Jeff Judkins, and our friends Pam and Steve. Sunday was an entirely different scenario. The weather wasn’t as good, and the river seemed to bump while floating. Major grass lift, moss, and rif-raf made fishing a chore to keep lines clean. Turns out, Bureau of Rec issued an order to facilitate repairs on Kirby Ditch. This week the river has fluctuated and bumped river flows from 1400 cfs down to 445 cfs. Fishing will be variable and boney floating until river flows settle down and stabilize. We imagine the river will be bumped up to 900 cfs when work is done…just a guess. Hopefully the moss and grass floaties will settle down soon, but may take some time. Keep posted for more river reports on the Bighorn and Green Rivers.
