Hopper

Grasshoppers are cyclic,and the intensity of there prescense varies from year to year. Grasshoppers can be found on the Bighorn from July – September.  As we move into summer and the grasses in nearby fields dry up, grasshoppers move to the rivers edge to find lusher green grasses.  At this point they are highly susceptible to being blown into the water by the summer wind, where awaiting trout find easy meals.
Bighorn River Fishing Tip:  Look at the underside fo the natural Grasshoppers and match your pattern accordingly.
