Missouri River Fishing Report + Rating
3/5
September 19, 2023
The Missouri River is fishing well and will continue to improve with the cooler nights ahead of us. If you like technical dry fly fishing, Trico fishing is still available but we’ll look for more BWO action on the upcoming cool, cloudy days of fall. On warmer afternoons, try a hopper-dropper set up with a small mayfly nymph or sow bug.
If you aren’t finding fish rising nymphing deep with Sow Bugs, Micro-Mays, Scuds, and the like. Switch depths till you find the fish. Split shot is key in the deeper slots.
For those dedicated streamer slingers, fish a fast-sinking tip and let it sink then strip. White flies with some flash has been effective recently. Try a Galloup’s Dungeon or Keller’s Montana Humdinger.
