Missouri River - November 29th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
44 °
FISHING: Excellent
Hey Montana,
In case you were wondering, fishing on the Mo. is really really good right now. I fished craig to spite hill yesterday and caught many nice browns and bows. Did dam to wolf today, and left really happy. I have not caught a whitey in a long time either... Im not sure if this is good or bad, but when you are only catching trout, and lots of them, it doesn't bother you to much I guess. Nymphing is incredible right now. Streamers are working better than decent, and drys are not worth trying, unless you happen upon a nice pod, which is hard to find in this wind. If you get bored watching bobbers, don't fret, because most of the time, granted you are in the zone with the right bugs, it will be under. Hot bead anything, scuds, zebras, pts, Lb's, you name it. If it looks tail water, its working. If you have been wondering if some of your ties will work, this may not be a good test. The fish are not being picky. When streamer fishing, minnow patterns, sculpins, leeches, bunny, and bou is all working. Thats a long list of bugs, so go with your favorite ones, and fish them hard. We have been pulling fish out of spots that usually don't hold fish like they are. I saw some walleye guys raise a few eyes today also. Everything is good here. Don't be afraid of the wind either, the fish sure aren't. Check the blog, report, and fly of the week later this week. I'll show you some bugs that they are gobbling, as well as give some incite on how you may want to fish them.

Missouri River - November 27th, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
52 °
FISHING: Good
High temperatures will drop 20+ degrees over the next couple of days. High daytime temperatures will only reach into the mid 30's Along with temperature decline, we should see our hurricane force winds subside (some). It will still go by fast, but not at interstate speeds. The abrupt change is signaling a change in the weather mid week. Snow is likely. With water temperatures in the low 40's, you'll still find a fish or two eating on top. While the baetis are gone, you can still fool a few fish with baetis imitations. For the most part, however, it's a midge game on top. You'll get most of your fish subsurface. Midge larvae and scuds should be in your arsenal. Streamers still produce if you tire of staring at a bobber. Sooner or later Old Man Winter will arrive and stay. Get after it before he makes his presence known.

Missouri River - November 24th, 2011

RECORDED:
48 °
FISHING: Great
Fished the Mo. with Arron from Bozeman yesterday. Did well on streamers. Lots of bows up around dam. Since we could only do a short float, we chose to stay between dam and wolf creek. Nymphing was on, streamers were on, dry's were not worth throwing. Lots of fish on big scuds and pink Lb's. Aaron striped many differnt big bugs, and fish didn't feel like discriminating I guess. Later, big Sam Wike and I floated lower on the river just before dark. We stuck to streamers. Olive got a tug or two, but quickly switched to white. There was no need to switch after that. All browns down low before dark, which was surely refreshing. Have fun!

Missouri River - November 22nd, 2011

RECORDED: 
54 °
FISHING: Great
Warning! Unless you are in a skiff or LP style boat, drifting will not be easy today. I took Sam's Clacka from the Dam to Wolf Creek bridge last night. Under the dam was one of the only spots that I could anchor and hold, even with thirty plus feet of string out. Once the anchor would finally wedge, and I was able to fish, I was not complaining. In order to get a decent drift, anchor so the wind will cast for you. I did the best running controled drifts close to the boat. The fish seemed super hungry. They were present throughout the entire water column in the slow 'n soft stuff, and even eatting pretty hard around the surface. Hot bead stuff was my go to, but the mini (18's and 20's) copper john merked many fish when heads started showing up. Pink Ray Charles, and assorted czechs are a great choice if you are in doubt about what to use. My buddy Rielly, aka Harmon Killabrew, from Missoula was out on the water before I was. He was stipping streamers, and catching nice fish doing it. If you do decide to fight the wind, you will be rewarded. I'll be fishing on Cranksgiving day in 7-11 mph wind with temps around the mid 40's. Come in the shop and grab some bugs from us. While everyone is inside stuffing there faces, I would strongly consider feeding the fish. Do something new this thanksgiving, and take your friends and family outside. See you somewhere on the Mo. manana.

FISHING: Good
Overall, fishing the Mo still has some promise. You'll have to wait for the present winter blast to clear the area before the river welcomes you once again. High temperatures will be in the teens for the next few days. But, with a 44° water temperature and air temperatures above freezing starting Monday, we won't call it a season quite yet. Belize is calling. So are the ski slopes.

Missouri River - October 30th, 2011

RECORDED:
50 °
FISHING: Good
Fished the Missouri today from wolf creek bridge down Craig and caught fish on dries and nymphs ... Planned to swing streamer but never got to it and it was really windy. Lots of bwo's were out and fish were eating the emergers. We caught fish on pulsating emerger, smiths brianne dun bwo, and the GWG on top and nymphing we caught fish on the chocolate and purple crust nymphs. More fish were rising up high for some reason even though there were bugs the whole way.

RECORDED: 
50 °
FISHING: Good
Already windy in town this morning. Alfonso beat us up to the river today and just reported rising fish on BWO's about 5 minutes ago (it's 10:30am). Bring your nymphs too because it is likely to get windier up there as the day goes on. Makes sure to bring some good emergers like the BWO pulsating emerger or whatever is your favorite to ride behind your dry.
Urban Report: Fishing has been good with streamers in the knee deep runs. Cover a lot of water. John T was out on his new favorite urban run last night and got three nice rainbows stripping streamers. Paul was out as well in a different area... please ask him about his evening (comical).
We are headed up river here in the next hour so I'll post a more detailed report this evening for anyone headed out to the river tomorrow morning.
Cheers!

Missouri River - October 21st, 2011

RECORDED: 
51 °
FISHING: Excellent
The gift that keeps giving. After a historic high-water spring, the weatherman is making up for his early mistreatment of fly fishermen.
Clouds are in the picture for many days to come. It's very difficult to predict the weather on the Missouri. Hopefully, the weatherman is wrong about the potential for wind. If you're here, you'll find pockets of calm (with rising fish). If it's calm, you'll find fish up river wide and river long. Fish hard. It may be as good as it gets! Baetis, baetis, and more baetis with pseudos and midges mixed in.....
Friday
Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain showers. Highs 50 to 55...40 to 50 in the mountains. West winds 5 to 15 mph.
Saturday
Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain showers. Highs 50 to 60...40 to 50 in the mountains. West winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph.
Sunday
Windy. Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain showers. Highs 45 to 55. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph... increasing to west 20 to 30 mph in the afternoon. Gusts up to 45 mph.
Monday
Rain and snow showers likely. Highs 35 to 45. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
Tuesday
Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of rain and snow showers. Highs 35 to 45.
Wednesday
Partly cloudy. Highs 35 to 45.
Thursday
Partly cloudy. Highs 45 to 50.

Missouri River - October 17th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED:
46 °
FISHING: Great
We have been fishing the lower Missouri near Great Falls the past 4 days. Fishing has been good, not amazing but good. We have been mostly swinging streamer patterns through the runs and getting a mixture of browns and rainbows. The best fishing has been in the evening for sure. Black streamers seem to have been the best so far but we have been experimenting a lot.
On the upper river near Cascade and up it has been all about the baetis hatches. Nymphing continues to be good as well with zebra's, midges, and baetis nymphs.

Missouri River - October 1st, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
FISHING: Good
Put the drift boat in at Broadwater Bay last night and fished Broadwater to the Skate Park in town. There was a huge hatch of White Mayflies (Ephorons) out to the point it looked like it was snowing. They were about size 12 and when they started to fall there were fish up all over. We hooked a few fish on dries but we were exploring more than anything so only casted for less than an hour. The hatch got really thick a little after 6pm last night and lasted until dark. Fish were up all over the tail out water past dark. The fish we landed were smaller rainbows but we spotted quite a few larger fish rising as well.
Missed two geese and hesitated on 2 mallards this morning so maybe I should stick to fishing.
