A little late-summer magic on the Bighorn

There’s nothing quite like watching a good fish eat, the rod load up, and the water come alive. Just another day on the river doing what we love.

Come fish the Bighorn with us. 🎣

Walter with a beautiful brown trout on his 83rd birthday! 🎂Walter is one of those special anglers we get to look forward to seeing every year, and we’re always grateful to have him back on the Bighorn.

Here’s to another year, another birthday, and another unforgettable fish thanks to our guide George!

We’re feeling extra grateful for the people who make the Bighorn Angler what it is. Great clients, great guides, and a whole lot of passion for sharing this place and this sport.

There’s nothing better than watching our guides do what they love with people who are just as excited to be here.

Proof that Ethan’s boat is basically a floating happiness machine. A boat full of happy clients and a guide that’s been chillin’ through angry August!

The fishing is good. It’s really good.

This beautiful brown fell for a size 18 Mahogany Spinner — one of those little bugs that can make a BIG difference when the fish are keyed in.

Another great day on the water with our guide Colton! 🤎

Every year, they come back. Every year, the smiles are just as big.

As our guide George puts it, “The Dream Team!”

Scott & McKenna have made fishing together a yearly tradition, and we’re honored to be part of the memories they’re creating along the way. Here’s to another unforgettable day on the river!

Nothing beats watching clients land beautiful brown trout at the same time. Pete is always working hard to put anglers on quality fish and create an unforgettable day on the river.

PMD season is one of the best times to fish the Bighorn, and having the right dry flies can make all the difference.

Pete’s go-to PMD patterns:
- 3 Mile PMD
- Last Chance PMD
- The Missing Link PMD
- CDC PMD Spinner
- BA CDC PMD

Each of these patterns shines under different conditions. Whether you’re matching fresh duns as they emerge, fooling selective trout during the hatch, or targeting fish feeding on spent spinners, there’s a time and place for every one of these flies.

If you’re fishing the Bighorn this summer, these are patterns you’ll want in your dry fly box. Stop by the shop and we’ll help you pick the right sizes and let you know what’s been producing on the river.
