Bighorn River - Winter Fly Box

Fish the Bighorn like you know it — because now you do. The Bighorn River Winter Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Bighorn from December through March. The Bighorn tailwater fishes year-round and winter is one of the best times to be there. Stable dam releases, consistent midge activity, and minimal angling pressure make winter on the Bighorn a legitimate bucket-list experience. This box is built around the Bighorn's winter hatch calendar — midges year-round. Every fly was chosen with technical midge fishing in both nymph and dry fly forms in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year. What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering midge larvae in red, olive, and black, zebra midges, brassies, and midge cluster dries. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season. Pro tip from the water: Winter on the Bighorn is uncrowded and productive. Fort Smith guides are available year-round and conditions are often better in January than July. Don't overlook this season. Whether you're making your first trip to the Bighorn or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop. Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
