  Please refer to 8.23.13 Fishing report, not much has changed.  Well not really but here it is anyway. Trico’s in the morning up by the dam, fish your nymphs before and after the spinner fall.   Try your luck at being the first boat up at the dam as we head into this work.. read more →

Flows are remaining steady around 3100cfs and the water temps are ranging from 64-67degrees F. Breezy this morning on the MO, which could keep Tricos off the water, but fish are still on them.
