CURRENT REPORT

The Missouri is seeing more and more traffic since our rivers here are starting to deal with runoff. Fishing has been good, especially if you like nymphing. Sow Bugs, Scuds, Firebead stuff has been getting the most love. Dry Fly action has been so/so with a few March Browns and BWO’s out. Make sure to have a few Cripples and Extended Bodies in your box. Streamer fishing on the low light days, if it’s bright and sunny fish close to dark to get the most action.

Looking Forward

Fishing will just get better with some great hatches up and coming.  Caddis and PMD's coming soon!
