# Big Horn Montana Fishing Report - Monday, December 1st, 2025
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report from the Big Horn area.
Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly sunny skies today with highs reaching the mid-20s to upper 30s depending on where you're at. It'll be breezy in some spots, so bundle up and watch for wind gusts, especially if you're out on the water. According to the National Weather Service, the Northern Big Horn area is expecting patchy fog this morning, so give yourself some extra time getting to your favorite spots.
Now let's talk water conditions. Montana's rivers are running a mixed bag right now. The Upper Mountain sections and various runs through the region are reporting runnable flows, which is solid for December. Stream flows across the state are experiencing varied conditions with some sections running below normal, but nothing that should keep you off the water entirely.
For today's fishing, focus on the classic winter patterns. Dark lures tend to work better in these shorter daylight hours—think black and purple soft plastics, deep-diving crankbaits, and streamers. If you're bait fishing, live shiners or sculpins will get the attention of hungry trout and walleye looking to bulk up before deeper winter sets in.
I'd recommend hitting the lower sections where the current is steady but manageable. The slightly warmer water near dam releases often holds concentrations of fish this time of year, and the breezy conditions should keep the sun glare minimal, making sight-fishing more productive.
Two solid spots to check out today: the river sections near established access points with deeper pools, and any areas where smaller tributaries feed into the main river—those transition zones concentrate fish.
