Our destination is the legendary Bighorn River with expert fly angler and guide, Scott Brown, owner of Brickhouse Browns, Sheridan, WY.  The Bighorn has had its ups and downs, but the Bighorn is back in a big way, fishing better than ever.   Here anglers will find great numbers of big trout who often feed like there’s no tomorrow.

Scott was born and raised in Sheridan playing sports, hunting, and fishing in the Bighorn Mountains.  He soon became obsessed with fly fishing, spending 250 to 300 days a year on the water.  After a stint in an open pit coal mine, Scott ditched the hard had for a fly rod to guide full-time on the Bighorn. 

Today Scott gives us the rundown on the world-renowned tailwater in Montana, the canyons of Thermopolis, and the headwaters in the Wind River Range.  Plus, best wade sections, stories of close calls with rattlesnakes, and a guide story so gross you’ll hate to love it.
