Jeramie Prine's Tip of the Week
The Bighorn River flows are now at 1019 cfs. Fishing has been productive. Rainbows are starting to spawn. Please respect the redds (spawning beds) and don't fish them and avoid walking on them at all costs. Disrupting the redds and fish on them do not help the future of the fishery.
