Bighorn River Wyoming Spring Flush: The Bureau of Reclamation; Boysen Dam is tentatively planning on a spring flush March 21-22, 2016 on the Wind/Bighorn River. We will keep readers posted should these dates change, so keep posted. We are happy to see that the river will be flushed and can help clean up the river and spawning beds. Rainbows are currently spawning.

Bighorn River Fishing Report: The fishing was good this weekend, but the strong winds definitely played a role in drifting and catching. When the wind wasn’t blowin’, the trout were biting! Rainbow trout are spawning and actively on their redds. We kindly ask anglers fishing the Bighorn right now to please not fish to these spawning beds, but fish below in deep water. Definitely do not walk on them. Successful flies: annelids, midges, and sow bug. Keep posted for more reports to come!

Bighorn River Spring Flush: March 24th, 2015. Here at Dunoir Fishing Adventures we have been receiving calls inquiring about if/when there will be a spring flush on the Bighorn River. We talked to the Bureau of Reclamation Office today, and they are tentatively planning on flushing the Bighorn River in Thermopolis starting on March 24th. Fishing can be great following the flush, but can be a challenge during the actual flush. Fish do get scattered, but if you know where to look for them your odds of catching a few big fish are good. Should this date change on the flush we will let you know immediately, so keep posted.
