Missouri River Fly Fishing Report

“Bye wind. Hello, better fishing!”

Current Flows: 5,350+

Weather Forecast: Saturday — Mid 80s Sunday — mid 80s and chance of rain

Hatch Report: PMD, Caddis, Midges

The wind was definitely an issue the past few days. Can’t get a proper drift on the Mo’, you’re not going to have much success. The good news is there’s a lot more consistency in the fish. It was a weird week but now they’re a lot more aggressive. This week should shift a lot. We “should” see a lot more bugs. Look for Sunday as the better fishing day. Overcast is what you need.

Nymphs: Zebra Midge, Spanish Bullet, Tailwater Sow, Psycho May, Split Case BWO, Hairs Ear, Blooms Weight Fly, Duracell, Galloups UV Pupa, Kelleric Pick n’ Roll

***Mornings still doing sowbugs and PMD nymphs. Short leash in the afternoon if you’re not skilled enough for PMD dry fly fishing.

Dry Flies: Purple Craze, Hi Vis Spinner, HOlK Bactis, Klink Hammer, Cornfed Caddis, Jake’s Hivis Coddis, Double-Duck Caddis, Harroups CDL Caddis

***You can find good rising fish if you look for them. Focus on mayfly spinners and CDC Caddis.

Streamers: Lil’ Kim, Game Changer, JJ Special, Sparkle Minnows, Flash Fry Zonker, Kreelex, Docs Articulator, Sparkle Yummy

***Streamers are still doing well. No weeds on the Mo’ and fish are crushing them.
