Bighorn River Bites and Missouri Monsters: Your Montana Fishing Report for October 10th, 2025

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you for Friday, October 10th, 2025, with your Big Horn Montana fishing report. Fall fishing is absolutely firing up right now across Big Horn County. The Bighorn River is fishing steady with reliable nymphing and improving streamer action. Surface activity is keeping things interesting as cooler temperatures move in. Weather-wise, we're looking at rain showers this morning transitioning to partly sunny skies this afternoon with a much colder feel. Highs will only reach the mid-50s with an 80 percent chance of precipitation, so layer up and pack your rain gear. The bite has been solid lately. Nymphing remains your bread and butter on the Bighorn, with anglers reporting consistent action throughout the day. Streamer fishing is picking up as we move deeper into fall, and there's just enough surface activity to keep a dry fly rig in play during the warmer afternoon hours. For your tackle box, you'll want to focus on nymphs as your primary setup. Small midges and mayfly patterns are producing well. If you're swinging streamers, go with darker colors and patterns that imitate sculpins and small baitfish. The fish are getting more aggressive as water temps drop, so don't be afraid to throw some bigger profile flies. The Missouri River below Holter Dam is also serving up plenty of action with healthy trout in active feeding mode. Big browns are starting to move into pre-spawn mode, making this an excellent time to target larger fish with streamers. Hot spots to hit today: Focus your efforts on the Bighorn River itself, working the deeper runs and pockets with nymph rigs. The areas with reliable current breaks and structure are holding fish. Your second option is checking out the Missouri River sections where you can target both rainbows and those pre-spawn browns that are starting to stack up. The fall season is here, and Montana's trout are hungry. With cooler temps, lighter crowds, and fish actively feeding, this is prime time to be on the water.
