Fort Smith Fly Shop and Cabins offers complete professional guide service on the Bighorn River. Floating down the Bighorn River in a McKenzie style drift boat is one of the most pleasurable and relaxing experiences you will ever have. Enjoying the sounds of the river and its' surroundings, the views and vistas, and the learning process about the river all combine into one thoroughly fabulous adventure. We haven't even gotten to the fishing yet!

Our season generally begins in March and runs through November. However, fishing is good year round on the Bighorn. The typical day starts off with a brief discussion of your goals and expectations. We want to give you the best possible experience. Our goals are safety, fun, catching fish, and trying to help people become better anglers by the end of their trip.

The drift boat is used to transport you down the river and fish prime locations. Depending on conditions, we do fish from the drift boat at times. Mostly we are wade fishing - riffles, runs, tail outs and slicks.

Instruction is provided on where the fish are holding and why, as well as techniques, tactics and the correct presentation to catch them. At lunch time we relax and take a break to eat and enjoy the beauty of the river, swap a few stories, and strategize about the rest of the day.

We continue downstream to pursue the fish.

A few guest comments:

'We had a blast fishing the Bighorn with Michael Mastrangelo and we really appreciate your friendship and hospitality. Even though we fished the Bighorn for just three days we feel like we have made friends for life! Michael you have a gift for guiding, and as long as I live I will never forget the Bighorn experience that you provided. Both of you make a great team and God willing we will come back to the Bighorn to visit and fish with you.'

'Michael he is a great teacher and guide, I learned a lot about the Bighorn and flyfishing in general. He has great patience and his humor are really wonderful assets. The longer we are in education and coaching, the more important humor and having a good time becomes. Tell him to keep up the great work he does. He enriched our lives. We will never forget our time together.'
