bighorn river fly Fishing Report

well today was pretty nuts with the rain! didn’t catch much but the experience was lit. the river was roaring! I tried various flies but the fish just weren't having it. we ended up laughing about how soaked we got! it was still a blast, can’t wait to try again when the sun comes back out!

headin back to the bighorn today! there was some patchy rain but when the sun peeked through, the fish were biting! caught a bunch of little guys but they were fun. used a hopper pattern since the bugs were right! good vibes all around, even grabbed a quick sandwich on the bank.

bighorn was looking a bit rough today – windy and cool. got a few bites but only managed to hook one small rainbow. still, it was nice being out there, just me and the river. might’ve been better with sunnier skies, but hey, can’t win em all right? 😅

a little rain today too, but I took the chance and had some luck! landed a couple smaller browns. it was a bit windy, too, but I love the sound of the rain on the water. used a woolly bugger, definitely gonna come back tomorrow if the weather holds up. fishing makes everything better!

man, what a day! it rained off and on, but the fish were just on fire! I was using a streamers and picked up a couple big ones. one was pushing 20 inches! the water was high, and the current was fast, but the fish were there. felt like a pro out there, absolutely loved it!
