Top Ten List today on the Missouri River Fishing Report…
- Late June into early July. Most are heading out early. The heat has been a factor so get out there and get ’em. Take a Siesta, a nap, a full shift at Joe’s.
- Water temps are at 62F. Higher than normal? I really don’t know. But I do know that the dooms-dayers will tell you we are fouled. I try to stay more positive than that, they, them. Flows are at 4100cfs.
- 4th of July Party @ Headhunters. All day for America’s Birthday. BBQ, Beer, Fireworks.
- PMD’s are in style. The two hour period that you cannot catch them? I too am familiar. A PT is the way.
- Crips, spinnners, emergers, transitional duns, half duns, captive duns…plain old duns? Your choice. Every day seems to bring another story of success and failure. We love love June and July.
- DFO’s Unite.
- Weeds? Yes. More than normal? Maybe. Deal with it or go to the Madison.
- Caddis anglers are happy too. Good time in all sections. Skittering in the afternoon for your after noon fun. Get those PMD’s off of the line and change it up. Try the Stocking WIng, Missouri River Special, King’s River, X-Caddis, Buzzball, clipped Troth, Angelo’s Cut Wing or your fav. Swing it swinger.
- Trico Season is upon us. A game changer for sure. Now the DFO gang can use up an entire bottle of Frog’s Fanny by noon.
- Shop open at 6 or earlier this week for the long run. Free coffee and the first and last open on the river. Come in and chat with our very own long time trout bums. They do fish daily and can give you some recent insight and on the river reports.
