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!

Tim on the Bighorn River with a nice brown trout!

Bighorn & Green River Fishing Guide Report: April is off to a great start and so is the fly fishing on the Bighorn and Green Rivers. We have been busy on both rivers and enjoying a wonderful Wyoming spring. Rivers will probably not see major run-off this year, but we should have plenty of water. The rainbows are spawning in shallow rock bottoms in the both rivers, so please avoid fishing on the redds and focus on the deeper water. We have had great luck catching nice brown trout below the redds. Curious about good spring tailwater patterns click this link to Field & Stream featuring guide and owner, Jeramie Prine. Other hot flies also include baetis patterns and the blue wing olives are starting to hatch!

Bighorn March Rainbow trout

Bighorn & Green River Spring Fishing Report: the fly fishing on the Bighorn & Green Rivers have been outstanding lately. Rainbow trout are stacked on redds (shallow water with gravel spawning beds). Please avoid the temptation to fish the redds as these are the future of our rivers. There are plenty of fish in deep runs and riffles to be caught and you will not get the stink eye from local anglers. Fish are keying in on midges, annelids, and baetis patterns. We have trips going out on the Bighorn & Green Rivers this week so keep posted for more reports.
