Bighorn Angler

Unquestionably one of Montana’s most famous trout rivers, fly fishing the Bighorn River is on every angler’s bucket list. Its trout-filled waters flow from the base of the Yellowtail Dam in Fort Smith, Montana and abundant insect hatches produce exceptional rainbow and brown trout fishing almost year-round for both novice and expert anglers alike.
