About this package

With the concentration on the waterfowl that is abundant on the Bighorn river, the typical “Cast and Blast” starts by getting out on the river and either “Jump Shooting” ducks and geese or if the birds are really moving then setting up with decoys is another favorite. The Bighorn river offers plenty of opportunity for several species of waterfowl headed from Canada on their southern migration. Perfectly positioning the drift boat for jump shooting is key as behind every bend and nook lends itself for some very exciting action. By mid day and the sun is high, the focus changes from shotgun to fly rod. This time of year lends itself to some amazing fishing. The autumn brown trout are starting to stage up for the late fall spawn and they are eager for a fight. As the sun starts to wain, the ducks start to return back to the river to roost. It is at this time to change back to the shotgun again and start the late afternoon hunt.
