Jeramie Prine's Tip of the Week
The Bighorn River is fishing well right now. Please avoid walking and fishing on the redds (trout spawning in shallow water). To avoid disturbing the redds, fish in deep runs. There are plenty of fish to be caught there. Spring Flush is happening on March 28th. The river will go from 1100 cfs to 5000 cfs for 10 hours.
