Fishing Report
Fishing on the Horn is terrifc. Midges and Beatis are emerging in the afternoons, which creates great dry fly fishing throughout the river. When the wind blows tuck into the islands and look for fish feading on the surface in the small pockets out of the wind. The nymphing has been very good using sowbugs, scuds, and midges. Try a few beatis patterns as well; soft hackle pheasant tail and LBF’s are taking fish.
