Species You Fish for by Season:
We fish for brown and rainbow trout. Early spring is midge fishing. Late spring, baetis hatch on cloudy days. Mid-summer, pale morning dun hatches as well as hoppers. Early fall is hoppers, caddis and tricos.
Date Range:
With the Bighorn River being a tailwater fishery, we have great fishing all year round. However, our peak season is April 1 through the middle of November.
Region/Terrain Where You Fish:
The Bighorn River has limited stream access, so the preferred choice of fishing is from a drift boat. Our experienced, Orvis-Endorsed Guides will stop at key spots for wade fishing complete with tips of the trade. This river is a tailwater so it is not affected by spring runoff, and can be fished year round. The Bighorn River is very fisherman friendly so whether you are a novice or a pro-angler, this river never disappoints.
Typical Weather by Season:
Spring: mid-March to end of May 50 degrees in the middle of day and 30 degrees at night.
Summer: June 60-70 degrees. July to end of August 80-90 degrees with an occasional afternoon shower to cool things off.
Fall: 60-70 degrees to end of October. November being 50-60 degrees. Water temps around 30 degrees.
Where is the nearest airport?
Billings, Montana (BIL) is our nearest airport, (90 miles one way to the resort). Car rental is the typical transportation to and from our lodge although we can do work with a limo service if requested.
