: Bighorn Lake: Anglers coming here would do good to start fishing the slide areas of the canyon walls, and then progressively work deeper unitl good numbers of fish are contacted. Look for good numbers of sauger, with some walleye thrown in the mix, to be taken. Anglers can also expect to see some ling taken, as well as some nice perch and some crappies. Anglers should see the best action to occur on a jig and minnow combination. Reported by: Sportsmans Warehouse |
