Green River Fishing, Dubois Fishing, and Bighorn River Fishing Report:

Dunoir Fishing Adventures hopes everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July! We are fortunate to live in such an amazing country. Our peak water flows in Wyoming are over and the rivers and streams are starting to come down. We have had several trips go out on the Green River below Fontenelle Dam. Fishing has been very, very good! Our friends and clients have been catching some amazing brown and rainbow trout! The Green River is dropping down to 6000 cfs starting tomorrow. Keep posted as we have more trips going out this next week.

Dubois, Wyoming Fishing conditions are starting to improve and the Wind River has dropped significantly. We have been guiding on the mountain lakes and fishing has been good. This week, we will be guiding on the upper creeks and streams in the Dubois area. Water is dropping and conditions are slowly starting to improve on the Wind River and its tributaries. We want to thank our guests Andrew and Kay who joined us all the way from Scotland! We had a wonderful day on the water!

Bighorn River Thermopolis, Wyoming Fishing conditions are scheduled to start dropping as soon as Boysen Reservoir is out of flood stage. The Bighorn River is still off color and running at 9000 cfs. We will keep you posted on conditions as they improve. It will not be long. For current river conditions and outflow of Boysen Dam click HERE.

Bighorn River, Wind River, Green River Fishing Reports

Bighorn and Wind River Fishing Report

Bighorn River & Wind River Fishing Report: Last week with the sudden heating up in the weather, the Bighorn River was chocolate milk from Buffalo Creek to north of town. This weekend the Bighorn River cleared up and the fishing was pretty good. Standard winter, spring flies are pulling fish right now. Think annelids, sow bugs, and midge patterns. There is the occasional blue-wing olive hatching, but the big hatch has not started just yet. The Wind River below Boysen dam boat ramps are super hairy right now and the fishing is only so-so. The cold temperatures seem to be putting the fish down and has them holding in deep water. Heads up that there will be a Bighorn River Cleanup Day this Sunday, February 19, 2017. There will be lots of boats and clean up crews on the water.

 

Green River Fontenelle Fishing Report

Green River Fontenelle Fishing Report: The fishing on the Green River below Fontenelle has been pretty darn good for mid-winter. Fishing has been lights out in the mornings and then slowing up in the afternoons when the air temperatures begin to drop. We had several great days over on the Green River last week with long time guest, Ed. Hot flies were: annelids, sow bugs, and midges. We definitely got luck with little to no wind and clear, sunny skies. Boat ramps are still really tricky and just plan on getting stuck a time or two. There have been lots of wade fisherman out trying to shake cabin fever. What a great place to do just that. Get out and enjoy some winter Wyoming fly fishing!

 

Green River, Bighorn River, Dubois & Lander Fishing Report

Green River, Bighorn River, & Dubois & Lander Fishing Report: 

Green River: Guide, Jeff Judkins, had a stellar day on the Green River earlier this week. Our guests caught several nice browns and cutthroat trout in the 20 plus inch range. The river was flowing at 2500 cfs on Tuesday and by this weekend the river will be bumped up to 5000 cfs. This will make fishing a little tricky during the bump, but once the flows stabilize fishing will be outstanding again.

Bighorn River: The river flows have stabilized on the Bighorn River. Inflow from the Wind River into Boysen Reservoir is 9818 cfs and Boysen dam is releasing 5034 cfs into the Wind River and Bighorn River (this is subject to change). Yellow Sallies have started to hatch and the river is big making for fantastic fishing. We equate big water to big fish and absolutely love guiding in these conditions. More reports to come later this week from the Bighorn River.

Dubois & Lander Waters: The Wind River in Dubois and the streams in Lander are pretty much peaking making waters high and a bit off color. The fishing on the lakes (stillwater fly fishing) and the high mountain streams is the ticket right now. Fish are always to be had in the Wind River and Absaroka Mountain Ranges.

Bighorn River Fishing January Report

Bighorn River Fly Fishing January Report: Dunoir Fishing Adventures had a fantastic three days on the Bighorn River with Ed. Thanks Ed, and congratulations for catching some nice bruisers from the ‘Horn! January turned out to be a great month for drifting and fishing the river. Last year, the Bighorn had a major ice dam form near Hot Springs State Park destroying the dock at the take-out. So far, the river has been relatively free of ice. We will see what the next month brings. We have been busy taking reservations for this season on the Bighorn River, Green River, and the Wind River. Last season, our guides were completely booked from July to October with few exceptions. We encourage our guests to book their trips as far out in advance in order to reserve their guide for these rivers. Keep posted for more fishing reports and pictures to come!

Bighorn River Winter Fishing in Wyoming

Bighorn River Winter Fishing in Wyoming

Bighorn River Fishing Report Thermopolis, Wyoming: Dunoir Fishing Adventures’ guide, Jeramie, fished the Bighorn River yesterday. The fly fishing was great and the weather very cooperative for January fishing. The river is free of ice and boat ramps are not too slick. Trout are holding in deeper slower water with annelids and sow bugs being the ticket. There was about a half an hour of a blue wing olive hatch and a few heads poking up giving opportunity for dry fly fishing. Dunoir Fishing Adventures will be guiding several days this week, so keep posted for more fishing reports to come. We are currently offering discounted drift boat fishing trips for $400, one angler or two. Give us a call or shoot us an email for more details. For more photos of yesterday’s trip check out our Bighorn River Facebook Page.

Welcome to 2016! Bighorn, Green, and Wind River Fishing

First fish of 2016!

First fish of 2016!

Dunoir Fishing Adventures would like to wish all of our friends and guests a warm welcome into 2016! We have started fishing off right in the Wind River Basin taking advantage of the cold temperatures and good ice, making for safe fishing. This last fall our fishing guides were busy, busy guiding on the Bighorn and Green Rivers, hence the lack of guide reports. Our New Year’s resolution is to keep up with reports so that you can be more informed on fishing conditions. We have a lot in store for 2016. Our guides are looking forward to being on the water with the Project Healing Waters-Platte Rivers Chapter and Wyoming Casting for Recovery in Dubois, Wyoming. These days on the water are some of the most memorable and special for our guides. We are blessed to be apart of these programs!

Winter Fishing Report: Bighorn River Thermopolis, Wyoming

Winter Cutthroat Trout Bighorn River

Winter Cutthroat Trout Bighorn River

Winter Fishing Report: Bighorn River Thermopolis, Wyoming: The fly fishing on the Bighorn has been incredible the last couple of weeks. The key factor has been our warm temperatures and lack of the evil “W” (wind). Our guide, Jeff Judkins, was out the past three days with Ed. The boys where successful catching the trout grand slam: Rainbows, Browns, and Cutthroat trout. Ed not only earned grand slam status, but he caught some bruiser big trout to boot! Thanks Ed for the great time. Winter is the perfect time to drift boat fish the river due to fewer crowds, great fishing, and and beautiful landscape blanketed in snow. For hot flies think small midge patterns. In the winter every day is different, so changing out flies is a must. We are still offering our winter discounted trips for $380 for one angler or two.

Bighorn River Rainbow with a mouthful

Fly fishing in Wyoming was absolutely outstanding on the Bighorn, Wind, and Green River this year. Big water equaled big fish! We would like to thank all of our friends and guests who joined us this season. We are finished with hunting season, the meat is in the freezer, and we would like to show our gratitude by offering WINTER RATES on drift boat trips. Our winter rates are $380 for drift boat trips (one angler or two), so join us for a trip today. The weather lately has been outstanding for December. We are in the season of small nymphs and midges. Keep posted for more guide reports to come soon! This photo is from our friend Dave who caught this brute rainbow Bighorn River trout. Notice the fish tail sticking out of its mouth. Talk about biting off more than you can chew! We pulled the little fish out and it was eight inches long.

Dubois & Thermopolis Fishing Reports

dubois_wyoming_kids_fly_fishing_brooks_lake_1_20140711_1186618320Dunoir Fishing Adventure’s fishing guides have been working hard in Dubois and Thermopolis, Wyoming guiding on the alpine lakes and the Bighorn River. We are in our peak season for guests and making sure all of our guests have a fly fishing adventure of a lifetime. The fishing has remained good to great despite our big water on the rivers. Guests have been catching rainbows, cutthroats, browns, and even lake trout. Hot flies lately have been a few foam terrestrials, tricos, streamers, and baetis nymphs. It is the season of the dry-dropper set-ups! The Bighorn River flows have been bumped up to 3750 cfs yesterday, which is up from 2000 cfs a few weeks ago. My family and I enjoyed a day off at Brooks Lake fly fishing in Dubois a few days ago. Little Meesha is showing promise of becoming a great fly angler and is perfecting her cast. Keep posted for more fishing reports to come.
