Fly fishing on the Bighorn River in Montana is a unique and exhilarating experience. Known for its pristine waters and abundant fish population, the Bighorn is a world-class destination for anglers seeking the thrill of casting in one of the most scenic and productive rivers in the United States.
The Bighorn is especially renowned for its trophy-sized rainbow and brown trout, with some fish reaching over 20 inches. The steady, year-round flow of water from the Yellowtail Dam creates consistent fishing conditions, and the river is often teeming with fish, making it a great spot for anglers of all skill levels.
Fly fishing here is a delight, with an array of hatches throughout the year offering opportunities to match the hatch. From the early spring midge hatches to the summer caddis and PMD (pale morning dun) hatches, the Bighorn’s waters support a healthy ecosystem of aquatic life.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, the Bighorn’s calm waters and plentiful fish make it an unforgettable experience. The surrounding landscape adds a layer of peace and solitude, making it easy to connect with nature and enjoy the quiet thrill of the catch.
