The Bighorn Mountains are fishing great. Dry fly season has arrived and the fish are rising to a large variety of flies. Hoppers are thick in many areas on the mountain and the fish are responding to 14 to 10 size hoppers. Stimulators, ants and beatles are also working well. The typical grey, green, and [...]

Hello All, March has come and it is time to think fishing if you are not already there. The gas prices this summer will likely be high, so budget for the long hall. We here at the Fly Shop of the Bighorns offer several options of fly fishing that are hard to match. Small creeks, [...]

The fishing is taking off. Most of the upper creeks and lakes are fishing good. The major hatches are starting and the fish are biting. The grass hoppers are out, but the fish are not keying just yet. The next few weeks are going to change everything. I have a great guy named Len that [...]
