This place is easily the Lodge of the Year!
Adam was patient, knowledgeable, fun, and easy going- a joy to be around on the river. The meals were AMAZING- some of the best meals I have EVER, EVER had. Salmon, lamb, beef tenderloin, pork, made to order breakfast- even the lunches on the river were excellent and well made.No recommendations- this place is easily Lodge of the Year! Lee S. Durham, NC

Bighorn River Fishing Report
Current Report
Flows should remain steady at 9,500 cfs through the week. Fishing has been good on the upper 13 miles. Water clarity is very good. With the high flows, wading is pretty much out of the question.
Hot Fly Patterns
Worm patterns are doing very well, in the wire variation as well as the San Juans. Use sizes 2 or 4 in red, orange, and two tones. Sow bugs have been working very well as a trailing fly. Use Firebead sowbugs or Steve’s sowbug in sizes 16 and 18. Some midge patterns will probably still be working as well, such as rootbeer or zebra midges in 16 and 18s. Don’t forget your split shot, you’ll need it. 2 or 3 BBs or a single 3/0 should suffice.

Outstanding Guide
John and Rebecca are wonderful hosts, the guide was outstanding, and I felt right at home at the lodge. Fishing was terrific. Sam was great in selecting the proper flies, took me to the most productive places on the river, coached me on bringing in the big rainbows. He was ourstanding. Ken W. Naples, FL

Outstanding experience.
The lodge itself is so comfortable and incredibly clean. After 6 years, I know what I am in store for. John and Rebecca, along with staff and guides have become more like friends. They make us feel so welcome and look for ways to take care of us. It is an outstanding experience. Paul P. Bainbridge Island, WA
