| NetDescriptions | The Bighorn River flows through the open country of southeastern Montana and is widely regarded as one of the most consistent trout fisheries in the West. With high trout densities often approaching 2,500 fish per mile and stable, year-round tailwater flows, the Bighorn provides reliable fishing for anglers of all experience levels. Most trout range from 16 to 18 inches, with regular opportunities for fish exceeding 20 inches.
The river offers a variety of fishing options. Anglers may drift indicators from the boat, wade fish side channels and runs, or sight fish to actively feeding trout during dry fly conditions. This diversity of water and techniques makes the Bighorn equally well suited to first time anglers and experienced fly fishers.
Kingfisher Lodge is a comfortable, well-kept lodge known for excellent food, experienced guides, and friendly service. On arrival and departure days, guests have walk-in access to the lodge’s private water and may fish independently. Guided days include full floats on the Bighorn, with time spent fishing from the boat and wading productive sections along the way.
In the evenings, guests and guides often gather outside to relax and talk about the day’s fishing. Overall, Kingfisher Lodge offers a classic Montana fishing experience defined by strong fishing, well prepared meals, and a relaxed atmosphere. |
