Rainbow Trout Fishing in Worland
For rainbow trout near Worland, the Bighorn River is your primary destination. This tailwater fishery, downstream from Boysen Reservoir, offers consistent trout fishing year-round. While the Bighorn is known for its brown trout, rainbows are also present and can provide excellent sport. Nymph fishing is particularly effective, especially with midge and mayfly patterns. Streamer fishing can also produce larger rainbows. The best time to fish the Bighorn is generally from spring through fall, with the warmer months offering the most comfortable conditions. Access is relatively easy, with several public access points along the river. Be aware of fluctuating water levels due to dam releases. Check the water flow data before you go. A drift boat or raft can be beneficial for covering more water, but wading is also possible in many areas.
