Bighorn River Fishing Report Thermopolis, Wyoming

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Thermopolis, Wyoming; The Bighorn River water flows have recently bumped up to 3000 CFS in anticipation of spring runoff. There is only about 977 CFS flowing into Boysen Reservoir, so the Bureau of Reclamation is planning ahead. With not as much snowpack this year, the Bighorn River should not see the high water flows that we have seen in the past couple of seasons. We will see what the rest of spring brings too. We will keep you posted on any crazy weather or conditions that could pop up.

This weekend brought the first real blue wing olive hatch for the season. The dry fly fishing was the most productive with trout feeding on the surface actively. It is always a hoot to be fishing smaller dry flies so early in the season and there should only be more of the blue wing bite to come. Hot flies: annelids, eggs, midges, and blue wing olives.

Bighorn River Fishing Report Wyoming

Bighorn River Fishing Report Wyoming: WARNING! Ice dam blocking the river at the railroad trestle between Wedding of Waters and 8th Street bridge. There is currently no way to get a boat over or through the dam at this point. Floating ice from 8th Street to Hot Springs State Park Rainbow Terraces and complete ice over north of Thermopolis. Temperatures have gone from negative digits and are slowly climbing. Temperatures are supposed to climb into the 40’s this week. The ice dam should break up in those digits by this week. We will keep you posted as soon as it opens up.

Today we floated the river and had a wonderful day cast and blasting. The fly fishing and the waterfowl hunting were absolutely superb. We were able to take our boat out on private property above the ice dam enabling us to float the upper Bighorn. A huge thank you to the landowners! We boated several nice rainbows and a couple of cutthroats today and two birds in the boat. Key flies right now are midges, baetis, worms, and sowbugs. It is 2017 so don’t forget to AIS boat sticker when floating on Wyoming waters.

Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas from the Bighorn River, Green River, & Wind River: The Dunoir Fishing Adventures family would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We would like to thank our friends, family, and guests for making our Wyoming fly fishing guide service what it is today. We are truly blessed! 

Dunoir Fishing Adventures has finally joined Instagram and we are looking forward to keeping our followers up to date on fishing conditions on the Bighorn River, Green River, and Wind River. Our goal this year is to keep our fishing reports current with the latest information in Thermopolis, Dubois, Lander, and Fontenelle. We are planning on a day on the Wind River in Dubois, Wyoming tomorrow with our dear friend and legendary guide, Leon Sanderson. Nothing beats a day on the river in December. We currently have a storm making for a white Christmas. Living the dream!

Bighorn River Big Flows & Dubois Lake Fishing: Wyoming is experience big water flows in the Bighorn, Green, and Wind River drainages. That hasn’t stopped Dunoir Fishing Adventures guides from getting on the water. Guides, Jeramie and Jeff, fishing the Bighorn River at 6500 cfs while the Bureau of Reclamation continued to bump river flows up to 7290 cfs, and had a great day on the river. Water is high, but if you know where the fish are holding you will catch fish. We have caught some of our biggest fish in big river flows. The Dubois area lakes are fishing well right now and are a safe bet too! Keep posted for more reports to come. We have five boats going out over the next few days.
