CURRENT REPORT

Water is still cold on the Missouri, but fishing is good. It’s always good in the spring. Pink nymphs and fire bead stuff is a good call right now. Find the depth they are in and have fun! A few midges are getting eaten on top and we should see that only get better, as well as some BWO’s to start really hatching. We just need warmer water temps to get that really going. Streamer fishing slow, dead drifted or swung with leech patterns have been getting some of the bigger fish.

Looking Forward

Fishing should only get better as the water temps start to rise.  Look for more fish on Midges and BWO's in the next few weeks.  It's gonna be good!
