And if I cannot wade above my thighs because the water is 53 degrees,
it is cold water. I am sure those species you mentioned are in the BH
lower down the river, even before it gets to where the LBH flows in.
It looks like a warm water stream near Hardin. But below the dam and
the next mile or so, it is 53 degrees and chock full of big wary
trout. I spent a week on the river and hope to return again, but not
in mid-summer when the temp is a warm 104 degrees. d;o)

Hi Dave,

I've been cold on the 'horn but that's probably because I only used to go in
the winter. Way to crowded in the summer. Any time you can walk across the
river on drift boats, it can't be good.

I've fished the river 50-75 times and it's always been fun even though it's a
pain to "pop ice". It's really bad if you fall in. I always pack a towel and
change of clothes but have never used them for myself. My fishing buddy, Rich
(pictured holding a good Bighorn fish in the link), used them once, though, and
they literally are a life saver if you take a dunkin in the winter.

I took my last trip to the Bighorn this last winter. It gets boring seeing
the same thing year after year and I'm tired of being cold. Wading for hours
fell off my list of "things to do" due to osteoarthritis in my toes and a bum
shoulder that makes rowing a pain.

Anyway, here's a link with some Bighorn fish in it. Some roffians may remember
Kevin from Billings shown holding a good fish. There some other guys pictured
in this link I'll be some of you know.
