The
Big Horn River
Three and a half hours east of
Bozeman, the Big Horn is a classic tailwater providing year round fishing
opportunities. The
spring creek nature of this river, like the Missouri, can provide rewarding
and challenging fishing for large trout.
Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy
7-1:
The higher flows on the Big Horn have made for some exceptional fishing with scuds, sow bugs, and worms. The upper three miles have been the most consistent as the islands around Three Mile are actually washing away, sometimes muddying up the river. Also, with the higher flows the streamer fishing has been exceptional with some very large trout being caught.
Recommended Fly Patterns
