Bighorn River Fishing Guides

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.

Wyoming Fly Fishing Spring Report: Bighorn, Green, Wind River

Bighorn River Fishing Report: The fly fishing on the Bighorn has been great this early spring. Guide Todd Helms had a great day fishing with The Coaches and caught their share of  nice trout! The river is flowing at 2000 cfs while work is being done. Traffic is picking up and people are excited to to float. The Spring Flush is projected for March 28th. We will keep you posted as more information is available from the Bureau of Reclamation. In April, the river will be up to 3500-4000 cfs in order to help compensate for our large snowpack/runoff. It is melting by the day at a reasonable rate, and Boysen Reservoir is currently at 85.4% full. It seems like we are in for a great year with plenty of water. Our guides have some of the best experience for big water and know how to find the sweet spots! Hot flies right now are: annelids, sow bugs, midges, and the occasional streamer.

 

Green River Flows Below Fontenelle Fishing Report

Green River Fishing Report: The Green River below Fontenelle is increasing the water flow this week. Fishing will be a little finicky until the river flows stabilize at a consistent flow. It is going to be a big water year, but our guides’ experience and being in drift boats make all the difference for a good day on the Green River. We have caught some of our largest trout on big water years and look forward to what this spring and early summer will bring.  

 

Wind River Fly Fishing Winter Report

Winter fly fishing Wind River

Wind River Fly Fishing Winter Report: Dubois, Wyoming is experiencing full on winter conditions right now. Tributaries are frozen and the Wind River on the reservation is mostly frozen or has floating ice coming down the river. There are areas near Dubois that are still fishable if you are willing to brave the cold conditions and iced guides. I had the opportunity to fish with our good friend Leon today on some private water of his. Brown trout were hungry! He has been busy guiding fishing trips. and I was fortunate enough to catch him on a day off. I am blessed to call him my friend, and experience such a great day in Wyoming.

The tailwater of the Wind River and the Bighorn River will remain to be good fishing. Midges, sowbugs, and baetis will be go to flies. We are looking forward to guided trips this next month on the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Guiding on the Bighorn River in the winter is one of our specialties and favorite things to do. Warm lunch, affordable trip, and killer good fishing. Keep posted for more fishing reports to come!

Bighorn River & Dubois, Wyoming: August Fishing Report

Bighorn River & Dubois, Wyoming: August Fishing Report: The fishing around the Bighorn and Dubois have been outstanding lately. Fishing slowed down a bit on the Bighorn after they dropped the river flows for summer irrigation, but it has really picked up. The Wind River and its tributaries have been consistently good and the weather outstanding. The bears have really been making their appearance. If you are headed out fishing, we highly recommend having bear spray with you.

We would like to thank our guest, David Horsager, for a two great days on the Bighorn. David is above holding a classic Bighorn Brown. Guide, Nick Fulton, had a blast. We are in peak fishing season and will work hard to update our fishing reports. To see more photos from August, please check out our Facebook Page! Keep posted for more reports to come.

Bighorn River Fishing Guide Report: Spring is in full swing with great trout fishing on the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Guide Jeff Judkins had a great day with Johnny and his nephew, Calef, who had his first day in a drift boat in Wyoming. The boys had a great day and caught some nice browns and rainbows! The wind was pretty brutal for Thermopolis standards, but the guys fished through it and had good results. Thank you Johnny and Calef for the fun day! We have several boats going out the next few days on the Bighorn River so stay posted for more reports to come.
