You want a guide who doesn't have time to update fishing reports, or his website -- because he's actually fishing. You want a guide who can explain knots, bugs and the history of the Bighorn -- sometimes all at once. That guide is Jeremy Gilbertson. 12 years we've fished together. Every time I learn something new. I book a year in advance. I suggest you do the same.

Just back from another great visit to the Bighorn with Jeremy Gilbertson. As always, it was a…read morepleasure. (Tricos!) There is no aspect of guiding at which Jeremy does not excel. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bighorn: every season, every hatch, every spot, every time of day, any water level, any weather. He's a skilled fisherman and a great teacher. He'll put you on fish and help you catch them. Great guy, too. If you need additional guides for a bigger party, he will arrange them, and they'll be great. Jeremy's customer service is excellent. Once you're booked with him, there's literally nothing to worry about. Just show up, fish, and have a great time. I've lost count of how many trips I've taken with Jeremy...more than ten. I'm looking forward to many more.

The Shiloh Conservation Area is an unexpected bonus in an area in which there is a much recent…read moredevelopment. It's a chance to get outside and enjoy nature without traveling far. As you walk along the path, there are signs describing what the conservation area does and the flora and fauna you might see. It's an easy walk, the paths are paved, the signs easy to read, and despite being close to a main road, it's quiet. While there are walking access points at the nearby apartments and businesses, there's also entrance off Shiloh near the Knife River business. It seems to be popular for families with kids and dogs or both, and people who like to fish. I've seen plenty of all of them. There's no seating or picnic tables, or the like, so it's a place to keep you moving (except maybe if you're fishing). You never know what you'll see around the next curve in the path, and that's not a bad thing.

There is…read morelittle to no shade anywhere, the bathrooms are the typical pit style, no running water (despite being beside a lake), and no privacy. Now with this all being said, of you are looking to jet ski or boat around it might be decent. Also, don't do a tent here - this is RV or bust. Would I go back? No Would I recommend? No

My father and I have been fishing with Brad Downey and his guides at Angler's Edge since 2001. We…read moretraveled to Montana for fishing trips in 2001, 2009, 2012, and just recently in August of 2019. The Bighorn River is perhaps the best trout fishery in the lower 48. We have been guided by Brad and others, most recently by Dave Palumbo. A+ experience. Conditions were a bit tough the week we were there, but we were consistently catching more fish than others on the stream, noticeably so. Guides were constantly asking Dave for advise, and what flies/rigs we were using! The accommodations at Angler's Edge are as wonderful as the guiding/fishing. The property boasts two well-maintained guest residences. One is a typical house with a finished basement. It has two full baths, two queen bedrooms on the main level, and three bedrooms in the lower level. The lower level rooms have multiple queen beds. You can pack 10-12 people in the house including the couches. We did this before, in fact, on a large group trip in 2001, a trip organized by our local fly shop in Pittsburgh. The other residence is a cabin-like house with 2 bedrooms with 2 queen beds in each, and a common full bath. Each house has a kitchen with all the equipment and appliances you need to cook...just bring food. Make sure to bring enough alcohol, otherwise you will be driving back to Hardin, which is 45-50 minutes away. We were pleased by the fancy new propane grills at the house. There is a deck and patio dining set at the house, and a large front porch at the cabin with benches, chairs, and a grill. The cabin and house are separated by more than enough distance from one another be considered private (150 feet). There is virtually no interaction with guests staying in the other residence, aside from a shared driveway. The house has broadband DSL, whose wireless is within range of the cabin. I was impressed by the speed of the DSL, which was on the high end for typical DSL (speed tests of ~8 megabits/s). It was fast enough to stream an NFL game in HD without a hiccup. I was also able to run a remote desktop client without issue. Both residences were updated with a HDTV since we were here last, and the satellite dish package appears to be one of the top tier packages with all the sports and specialty channels. We were very happy to return to the Bighorn and stay at Angler's Edge. I would highly recommend this outfitter to any passionate fly fisherman or woman, also seeking really nice accommodations.

We caught fish - most of which were large. The food was excellent. On trips like these I have often subsisted on Doritos, peanuts, and other questionable ultra processed "food". This time each dinner included a huge salad, meat, a starch - pasta, rice, etc. and a vegetable plus desert. Excellent and we didn't go away hungry. My favorite meal is breakfast and you get a wide choice of options including my favorite bacon and eggs. Lunches were provided on our floats of the Bighorn and were very good with more food than I could eat. Dave and Cary and their two labs were great hosts. I highly recommend

I booked Thursday thru Sunday and brought my 26 year old son along for the trip. Everything about our stay was perfect! the lodge and our cabin was clean, welcoming and comfortable. The food was excellent, and our fishing guide Chad was incredible. We caught dozens of fish over two days, and when coming back to the lodge at the end of the day we were welcomed by Cary and David with a cold drink and a great dinner. Cary and David provide guests with everything they need, and no detail is overlooked. I highly recommend the Bighorn Riverview Lodge and Cabins, it was perfect, and can't wait to go back!
