Billings MT

Hey Rick,

I am not sure what might be closer, but you would be a 90 minute drive to the Big Horn river.  Iv’e have great service from Bighornangler.com .  There’s some wade fishing, but if you are going that far to fish the Big Horn, a guided boat is the way to go.  Here’s another thought, you can rent a boat (it’s a very easy river to row yourself) then use it as a taxi to take you down the river, pulling over to fish where ever you want.  However, nothing beat having a guide put you on fish with the right fly.

Good luck!

Rick,

How lucky can you get when your wife invites you on a “working” trip to Billings, Montana. Did I ever tell you about the bear that walked into a bar in Billings, Montana and asked for a beer? Ask me sometime but let’s get back to the question. Jim is “right on” with his suggestion. I’d arrange a guide – let them row – on the Big Horn (Ft Smith, Montana). It was a great trip for us last year May (wow, time flies). They should have gear for you, no need waders, and they will put you on to fish. About an hour drive from Billings. Have fun and send a trip report!! If their guides are full then try Kingfisher Lodge and ask for Brock (met him at the Denver Fly Fishing show).
