Late Fall Fly Fishing Frenzy on the Big Horn River

Well folks, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Big Horn River fishing report for Wednesday, November 26th, 2025. Let me tell you, late fall fly fishing is in full swing across southwest Montana right now, and the Big Horn is firing on all cylinders. We've got big browns on the move, and that's music to any angler's ears. The water temps are dropping, which means the fish are more aggressive and feeding hard before winter really sets in. Speaking of what's working—if you haven't tied on a sowbug yet, you're leaving fish on the table. These little critters were actually developed right here on the Big Horn, and the local guides swear by them. I'm talking serious producers. You'll want to size down a bit with the water cooling, so go with your smaller patterns in brown and olive. But don't sleep on nymphs either—stick with your standard blue-winged olives and some smaller stonefly patterns. Now, conditions-wise, we're looking at mild weather holding through the region, which means the water's probably running cleaner than usual for this time of year. That's actually good news for us. The mild temps mean fish aren't super lethargic like they can be in brutal cold snaps. For hot spots, you'll want to focus on the deeper holes and runs where those big browns like to stack up. The slower water below faster current sections is where they're hanging. Get down into some of the canyon sections if you can access them—that's where the monsters hide. Best advice? Get out there sooner rather than later. We don't have much time left before the water temps drop even further. Throw small, dark patterns, keep your drifts tight, and be patient.
