Eagle Nest Lodge

Fishing is UNBELIEVABLE! Will post photos soon. Guests catching huge numbers of fish. Several fish 22 – 24 inches. Water flows are still around 12500. While there are not many wade spots, the boat fishing can’t be beat.

Four boats to date have gone under water. From the sounds of things, all rental boats. So if you’re renting a boat, please be careful. It’s a completely different river.

Temperatures this week should be in the 80’s with scatterred thundershowers.

If you’d like to book with us for June next year do so soon. Some dates already sold out.

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.
