The Bighorn has been fishing good. Flows are stable around 2300 near St. Xavier with water temps coming in at 39 degrees. Standard winter fare is on the table. Nymphing will get the job done with crustaceans, squirmy worms, sow bugs and scuds. Streamers have been solid and will get you quality fish over quantity. Throw on your favorite sink tip or poly leader and get those streamers super deep. The Goldie in white and gold has tricked some decent fish lately. Be sure to call the local fly shops for the most up to date info on the river.
