Bighorn River Fly Fishing Spring Report

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!

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!

Green River Brown!

Green River Fishing Report: The Green River below Fontenelle is starting to pick up. Weather can be a factor this time of the year, but as we get closer to late spring the fishing is only going to get better. We had a beautiful day on the Green River recently catching a few really big rainbow and brown trout. Trout were keyed in on midges, nymphs, and streamers. Congratulations goes out to Frank with this beaut of a brown. Migratory birds and moose are being seen on the Green right now. Not a bad way to spend a day on the river getting to see such amazing wildlife and catching big trout! To see more photos check out our Dunoir Fishing Adventures Facebook Page

Bighorn River Wyoming Fishing Report: Guide Todd Helms has been hitting the Bighorn everyday this week. Fly fishing since the spring flush has really improved. Big brown and cutthroat trout have been poking their heads up and feeding on hatches, making the dry fly fishing outstanding. The Wind River basin received a record amount of precipitation for the month of March. This will all trickle into the the Bighorn River and only help fishing conditions for this summer. Keep posted for more Bighorn River Reports to come later this week. To see more photos check out our Facebook Page.

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.

Wyoming Summer Fly Fishing: Thermopolis & Dubois Report: Sorry for our limited fishing reports, but Dunoir Fishing Adventures’ guides have been busy in Thermopolis and Dubois, Wyoming guide drift boat and wade fishing trips on the Bighorn, Wind River, and its tributaries. The Bighorn is now at steady summer flows of between 1200-1350 cfs. The fishing last week on the Bighorn was about as slow as we see it for fishing. Now that flows have stabilized we will see “Bighorn Good” fishing again. The Wind River below Boysen Reservoir and the Wind River and tributaries in Dubois, Wyoming are all in perfect summer form. We are focusing on dry fly fishing, terrestrials, and dropper nymphs.  Keep posted for more to come!

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

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.

 

Fall Fly Fishing in WY: Bighorn River Report

by

fall_fly_fishing_bighorn_river_thermopolis_wy_1_20140915_1051720696The fall season fly fishing in Wyoming is starting off very strong! The past few weeks on the Wind and Bighorn River have been absolutely lights out! Guides RyHud, Spike, and myself have been keeping our nets wet and the oars working in cooler temperatures. I think that the larger water this year has really helped the fish in the river keeping water temperatures down. We did have our first snow of the season this last week, but it was short lived. Temperatures have been back up to the 70’s and 80’s with chilly nights. Looks like we will start guiding the Green River below Fontenelle this next month, which will be perfect for big rainbows and browns. To see more photos from the past couple of weeks please visit our Facebook page.

End of Summer: Dubois & Thermopolis Fishing Report

by

wyoming_summer_fly_fishing_dubois__thermopolis_1_20140825_1814809445We are reaching the end of summer here in Wyoming and our guides have been super busy on the rivers and lakes since our last report. The fly fishing has been absolutely outstanding despite the Wind River in Dubois being blown out for the summer. The Wind should be ready as soon as our rainstorms subside. The tributaries have fished as well as I have ever seen them. The Bighorn River has been fishing in full summer mode with the trout hiding out in different locations. We have ditched the indicator for dry-dropper set-ups and streamers, and have caught some phenomenal trout. Tricos still hatching for the time being. We are looking forward to fishing this fall! The big waters are going to yield plentiful and big trout. Fall is one of our favorite times to go fishing, so give us a call! To see more photos from mid-end of summer check out our Facebook Page!

Wyoming Summer Fly Fishing on Fire!

bighorn_river_brown_trout_wyoming_1_20140628_1178200835Dunoir Fishing Adventures’ guides have been busy fishing in Dubois and Thermopolis, Wyoming this past week, and the fly fishing has been good to outstanding. The brown trout are active right now and lots of big hogs have been coming into the net. On the Bighorn River yesterday, Steve and Brian had a stellar day catching big fish on dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. Seemed like the fish were eating everything. Gordan and I fished a tributary to the Wind River today and it was good despite the high water. The first fish was a beautiful Yellowstone Cutthroat trout that taped in at 19 inches. The fishing in Dubois, Wyoming has been great and we have been using dry flies, streamers, and nymphs as well on those waters. The Bighorn River flows have increased again to around 2900 cfs and the Wind River is still blown out, but we always know of spots that are hot to fish. Keep posted for more to come!
