Montana Fly Fishing & Bird Hunting

Brian is an unbelieveable fisherman at 10 years old! We’re betting he has his own fishing show by the time he’s 20. Please remember us! Rebecca

The “Leonard” party telling fish stories!

Another fabulous time with the “Irving” group! What a MONSTER fish, Bob. Can’t wait to see you all next year for another great time.

Fish I caught on Lake Bamaji, Ontario a week before seeing you guys.

After a month of high flows on the Bighorn, 9700 CFS, they are dropping the flows.

The Bureau of Reclamation announced today that flows were reduced from 9,700 cubic feet per second to 9,000 Monday and would drop to 7,600 cfs by Wednesday. On Thursday, another 500 cfs flow drop has been ordered, bringing flows down to 7,100 cfs.

The Bighorn River Basin is less than 3 feet from the full normal pool.

This will open up more wade fishing spots! See you on the Horn!

With the increase in flows continuing, and the end of it not in sight yet, the fish are gorging themselves on worms.  Check out these guys, just puking worms after we catch them.

The Bureau of Reclamation on Thursday began making its second big flow boost in a week through Yellowtail Dam.

On Tuesday, flows to the Bighorn River went up 1,000 cubic feet per second to 7,200 cfs. On Thursday, flows will increase another 1,500 cfs. By Friday, the flows will be up to 8,700 cfs.

The increase was in response to increased outflows from the upriver reservoirs in Wyoming - Boysen and Buffalo Bill.

The lake level in Bighorn Lake is 3,634.2 feet of elevation. The top of the normal conservation pool is 3,640.
