Jeramie Prine's Tip of the Week
The Bighorn River flows are now at 1700 cfs. Fishing has been productive and everyone is happy to see the river back to normal again. It is fall and there is moss, so keep those flies clean! Soon, moss will not be so much a problem as it clears from the river. To see the actual water flows, please visit: https://www.usbr.gov/gp-bin/arcweb_boyr.pl
