Bighorn River Wyoming Fishing Report Spring Spawn

April 11, 2019 by Jeramie Prine

Bighorn River Wyoming Fishing Report Spring Spawn: Fly fishing on the Bighorn River is going quite well right now. The river and the fishing is starting to warm up. A decent amount of big trout, including Brown Trout and Rainbows are coming to the boat. The first hatch of Blue Wing Olives are starting to come up. This hatch will make for some great dry fly fishing and hunting heads. 

The Rainbow Trout are in full spawn and on the redds right now. We kindly ask that if you plan to fish the Bighorn River please avoid wade fishing and targeting trout on spawning beds. It is not good sport or conservation minded fishing to these fish. We are catching enough BIG trout in deep water from the boat below the shallows.

Bighorn River Fly Fishing Spring Report

March 16, 2017 by Jeramie Prine

Bighorn River Fly Fishing Spring Report

Bighorn River Fly Fishing Spring Report: The Bighorn River in Thermopolis is currently flowing at 2067 cfs and Boysen Dam is currently sitting at 87.1 % full, which is slightly down from last week in the reservoir. The Bureau of Reclamation is upping flows early this year due to the high snowpack and anticipated high water flows this year. To see most current Wind River/Bighorn River water flows and information click HERE.

Fishing on the Bighorn has definitely picked up from the winter. The fishing has been great and we are really enjoying the higher water flows. The spawning fish are going to get a little more relief this year with the higher water flows. Wedding of the Waters is getting crowded on the weekends and anglers are definitely excited to get out and fish. You can tell it has been a long winter and cabin fever has set in. Hot flies include annelids, sow bugs, midges, streamers. We had a wonderful day this week with long time friends and guests, Pam and Steve. It is always a treat to fish with such great people! 

Bighorn River Fish Camp Wyoming

Bighorn River Fish Camp Thermopolis, Wyoming: Dunoir Fishing Adventures is slowly developing our property on the Bighorn River. Our good friend, Jason Redman and the Phat Foam Crew  helped us out this weekend move our composting toilet and worked on improving our river access road to our private boat launch. We are slowly working on getting the Bighorn River Fish Camp set up. Right now we are using fish camp for our guides, friends, and family but do have plans for our fishing guests. Keep posted for more to come. Thanks again to Phat Foam, Steve and Pam, and our wonderful family and friends for such an amazing weekend working and fishing. We are truly blessed!

Bighorn River Fishing Spring Guide Report

Hailey with a nice Rainbow on the Bighorn River!

Hailey with a nice Rainbow on the Bighorn River!

Bighorn River Fishing Spring Guide Report: Guides Jeramie and RyHud had a fantastic three days on the Bighorn River with Dan, Don, and his two children, Hailey and Logan. We had an absolute blast catching fish, telling lies, and having a great time. We didn’t change flies in three days of fishing and the crew landed a lot of big rainbow and brown trout! We would like to thank the Idaho crew for spending time on the river with us, and all of the laughs and smiles.The blue wing olives are getting thick and dry fly fishing is starting to become more consistent. It looks like spring run-off in Wyoming will be minimal and quick. Our last two years of big snow and precipitation are anticipated to provide for great fishing this season.

Bighorn River Wyoming Fishing Report: Variable River Flows Grass Lift Moss

October 16, 2014 by Jeramie Prine

Moss, grass, and variable river flows

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.
