From the benchWith flows at 1,490 CFS and dropping, the Bighorn is fishing as clean as it gets this time of year — wade the inside seams of the main channel and focus your nymphing rig in the 2-4 ft depth range where rainbows and browns are stacked. The overcast sky today is your best friend for the BWO hatch; expect fish to commit to dry flies from 10 AM through early afternoon, so have a size 22 Parachute BWO rigged and ready before you leave the truck. For big browns, hit the deeper outside bends with a streamer in the first 90 minutes of light — they're actively feeding ahead of the fall spawn. When the hatch dies down, drop back to a tight-line nymph setup with a heavy anchor fly and a small Perdigon or Blowtorch trailing 12 inches behind it.
