I think Brett sees a Unidentified Flying Object.
Or he thinks he does.
Or Just some Trico’s.
Or just too many days guiding.
Great mornings here on the Mighty Missouri . We dig August because of the the light pressure, the Trico’s, and hoppers in the water.
It’s hot, the nymphing sucks…but the fellowship is good amongst anglers. Fishermen are perpetual optimists.
Happy Sunday to you all!

The flows are 6760cfs and the water temps have fallen into the 59F range. Whoa. Goofy deal here on the Mo.
The good news is happy and smiling anglers into Izaak’s nightly. Then finishing at Joe’s.
