BIGHORN RESERVOIR

bighorn canyon lake

Along the Montana/Wyoming border, the Bighorn river runs northeast, and enters the Bighorn Mountains where it meanders through the Crow Indian Reservation.  At the edge of the reservation, the Yellowtail Dam forms the Bighorn Reservoir, which is 72 miles long.

Massive, deep-cut cliffs offer breathtaking scenery throughout Bighorn Canyon, averaging 1,000 feet in height.  Along Bull Elk Ridge, a massive 2,500 feet rust-colored, sandstone cliff soars straight up to the sky from the waters edge.

The Bighorn Reservoir offers an unparalleled Montana fly fishing experience in a spectacular setting.  Fish species such as sauger, small mouth bass, carp, and walleye thrive in the deep waters.  Additionally, there are opportunities to land giant rainbow trout and brown trout on the fly.

Many fishermen and guide outfits know about fly fishing the Bighorn River and we do fish it.  Although not very often–preferring the beauty, solitude, and quality of fishing in the upper Bighorn Reservoir.
