Fishing Locations

The Bighorn has been fishing well as of late. Your bighorn standards have been producing the most fish. Scuds, Sow bugs, Worms, and Midges are the name of the game. Eggs are also an ok option. The browns here spawn late so keep an eye out for fish on redds. Streamer fishing has been getting a little better as well. The weeds are minimal and the fish are getting a little more active during the warm days. Blacks, olives, and whites have been good. The good old double bugger rig is a good option over here right now. The dry fly bite has been minimal out this way.
