What a great time again. John and Rebecca are an incredible team, and run a wonderful lodge. The accomodations, food, and quality of the guides help make this a repeat trip. Only complaint is portion size of food. However, to be clear, the food is quite good. Paul P. Washington

Bighorn River Report

By eaglenestlodge | Published June 25, 2009

The Bighorn River is running approximately 12500 CFS. We haven’t seens flows like this since 1995. The fishing has been fantastic though.

Blue-winged olives and midges are hatching with some tan caddis starting to show up. All the usual nymphs are producing – sowbugs, scuds, black quills, Ray Charles and San Juan worms.

Be careful out there.

The fishing is as always great, river was at about 7800 — the bs session after a day of fishing is always fun with the other customers and the guides. Greg M.

Patient guides.

By eaglenestlodge | Published June 9, 2009

The hosts were excellent and enthusiastic. Food great. Lodge beautiful and rustic. No TV thank goodness. But the best thing was that there were lots of trout on the river and the guides were great! Very patient with someone of my meager skills. Lewis B.
