Bighorn River Fishing Report Highlights: Steady Flows, Nymphing Success, and Streamer Opportunities
from Big Horn Montana Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Big Horn fishing report for March 22, 2025. The weather's looking pretty decent today, with partly cloudy skies and temps reaching the mid-40s. We've got a light breeze coming from the southwest, nothing too crazy. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset will be at 7:28 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of fishing time. Now, for what you're all here for - the fishing! The Bighorn River's been fishing really well lately. Water flows are holding steady around 2,300 cfs, which is great for this time of year. Water clarity is excellent, and the temperature's hovering around 42 degrees. Folks have been having a lot of success with nymphing lately. Scuds, sowbugs, and midges are the name of the game right now. I've been hearing good things about orange scuds in size 14-16, tailwater sowbugs in 16-18, and zebra midges in 18-20. Don't forget to try some San Juan worms too - the fish seem to be loving them. For you streamer fanatics, now's a great time to chuck some meat. Olive woolly buggers, white zonkers, and sculpin patterns have been producing some nice browns. Remember to fish them slow and deep - these fish aren't too active yet. As for hot spots, the stretch between Afterbay and 3-Mile Access has been on fire. The deep runs and seams are holding a lot of fish. If you're looking to avoid the crowds, try heading down to the 13-Mile Access. It's a bit of a trek, but the fishing's been stellar. There's no real tide to speak of here on the Bighorn, being a river and all. But keep an eye on those water releases from Yellowtail Dam - they can affect fishing conditions. Recently, anglers have been reporting good numbers of rainbows in the 16-20 inch range, with a few bruiser browns mixed in. One lucky fella even landed a 26-inch brown last week! Remember to check your regulations and get your fishing license sorted before heading out. Tight lines, everyone!
