Elk Hair Caddis did it again. Water was gin clear, fish was sitting in 18 inches. One of those days.

Bird hit right where I was about to cast. Watched it eat a cutthroat. Not mad about it.

PMD emerger in the film. 6X tippet. This fish had shoulders. Bighorn in July is the best river in the country right now.

Elk Hair Caddis did it again. Water was gin clear, fish was sitting in 18 inches. Made a 40-foot reach cast and it crushed it on the first drift. Fought for three minutes on 5X — thought I was going to lose it twice. Slid it back in strong.

BH FB Pheasant Tail · #14–18
🏪 East Rosebud Fly & Tackle
Pre-hatch nymph. Fish it before the duns appear — most productive in the hour before hatch.

Scuds are always present on the Bighorn. Fish between hatches or when fish aren't rising.

BH Hare's Ear · #12–16
