You will not find a formal resort at Eagle Nest, what you will discover is a second home in Montana where your every need is met by our friendly and professional staff. Big Horn River Fly Fishing The Big Horn River is indisputably one of the finest fisheries in the world, providing miles and miles of blue ribbon water for rainbow and brown trout. Its cool temperatures and steady flow, combined with prolific insect life, provide an ideal environment for trophy trout. The Big Horn holds a greater number of large trout -- fish in the 15-20 inch range -- than any river in the United States. Host to phenomenal fly hatches nearly year round, the Big Horn provides excellent fishing from March through November. As a tailwater fishery heavy run-off is never a problem, making it one of the few fisheries where fishing is as good in March, April and May as it is during summer and fall. With around 6,000 trout per mile, it is not uncommon for an average angler to land 20 fish between 15 and 20 inches in a day, and most manage to hook into fish over the 20 inch mark during their stay. Professional Big Horn River Fly Fishing Guides The professional fly fishing guides at Eagle Nest Lodge are knowledgeable, courteous, and gifted with unlimited patience and enthusiasm. As qualified instructors, they can teach the fundamentals to beginners, help intermediate anglers improve their form, or introduce experts to new techniques for taking trophy trout. A first time angler can arrive almost empty handed and receive personal instruction, utilize our quality Orvis equipment and depart Eagle Nest with the skills to begin a lifetime of flyfishing enjoyment. You can even allow our staff to assist you in purchasing your personal tools of the trade from our on site Orivs retail shop.
The Eagle Nest crew is one of the few outfits to guide on both the upper and lower stretches of the Big Horn. Our experience on the lower Big Horn, presents opportunities for exceptionally large trout and allows guests to fish this world famous river in near solitude. Big Horn River trips combine float fishing from McKenzie-style drift boats with traditional stalk and wade techniques.
