Missouri River - October 11th, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
48 °
FISHING: Great
Remember last year? ..........
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for today and tonight. Expect temperatures that are about 20 degrees below average, and the possibility for new record lows. Tonight will bring clear skies and a low around 8 degrees.
This year is quite different. We've had incredibly nice weather for the last few weeks. While we appreciate the sunny skies and pleasant temperatures as humans, as fishermen we wouldn't mind a string of cold and dark weather.
We'll see some clouds and light rain on Monday. Hopefully, you have the day off. For the remainder of the week, you'll see temperatures in the low 60's to mid 70's and mostly sunny skies. Keep your nymph box handy. This weekend - partly sunny/cloudy skies are forecast. Cross your fingers.
Check out the evening if the bright sun keeps you fishing below the surface. On the upper river, there's enough caddis and midges to entice the Mo's wild trout to the surface. You won't have a long window of opportunity, but you'll have a window of opportunity. Since you're out near dark, bring your bugger box as well.
We haven't witnessed a significant change in the river's flows or temperature in a long time. At 4500 cfs and 57°, the river promises to fish well into November unless, of course, the weather changes drastically to the negative. It's a good time to be a local.
Industry Party - 19 days and counting.....October 30 at the Dearborn Inn.

Missouri River - October 5th, 2010

RECORDED: 
48 °
FISHING: Great
A gift for you today......
Today: Showers likely, mainly before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 59. West wind around 8 mph becoming north northeast. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
At 7:40 AM light rain is coming down. It's cloudy, dark, and calm. Tomorrow, it will be sunny and 65°. Get it while you can.
Looking forward, the weatherman is predicting high temperatures in the mid 60's and low temperatures in the mid 40's. Summer has moved east. The wind went with it. Perhaps the fall cool down we're looking for is finally here.
Enjoy the perfect fishing conditions today.

Missouri River - October 4th, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
48 °
FISHING: Great
We were just about to lower the fishing grade from great to good. It was starting to feel like summer. The fishing was starting to feel like August too. Monday and Tuesday have clouds and cooler weather in the picture. It suppose to be sunny after that, but not as warm. Highs will only reach into the upper 60's not the 80's.
4,400 cfs and 58° - steady as she flows. Both river flows and temperature have remained steady for weeks. Meanwhile, the trees have all turned color. If summer would yield to fall, baetis would be in business. Until you have clouds and cool, you'll find most of your luck comes from the depths. Using a hopper, stimulator, or ant as a bobber will find a few fish on top. It may seem like summer, but it's truly fall streamer time.
Longer and cooler nights will start to bring the water's temperature down. Sooner or later, those little green guys have to come. For now, enjoy the pleasant weather.

Missouri River - October 1st, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
48 °
FISHING: Great
Sunny, 80° and calm, it's going to be a great weekend to float the river. Fishing big bugs and nymphs for a few more days won't hurt you. When you go back to work, the weather will only change a little. Hang in there and enjoy the awesome weather. The earth continues to tilt. It's officially October. Soon, it will feel like it. Remember last year?
The weather holds the key. For now, hoppers, ants, caddis, pseudos, midges, scuds, tiny and flashy nymphs, and streamers all produce some results. Most anglers are fishing the upper river and the lower river. The mid section seems to be a nursery and has more weeds. When the weather changes (and the river cools), your fly selection will decline and your top water chances will improve. BWO's will dominate the fishing conversations.
For now, it's summer. The fish are huge.

Missouri River - September 29th, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
48 °
FISHING: Great
If it wasn't nailed down, it was flying by yesterday. Perhaps it was a signal of changing weather. A cool morning will greet you on the river Wednesday. It feels like a cool fall day unlike yesterday's heat wave. High temperatures will reach the low 70' for the next few days. You should get a break from the wind.
Fishing will remain in a holding pattern until we get a swing back towards serious fall weather. The river level has remained at 4,300 cfs. Water temperture: 57° and steady. Caddis, Midges, Pseudos, Hoppers, Ants and Streamers all need to be in your arsenal. We're on the edge of solid BWO's. You might get some clouds in the coming days. If so, be ready. Caddis dries may prove to be your best top water fly. Browns and Buggers - it beats looking at a bobber.
The river is fairly busy. Most anglers are anxiously awaiting cooler water and cloudy skies.

Missouri River - September 27th, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
62 °
FISHING: Great
Summer has finally arrived. High temperatures will reach into the upper 70's to low 80's for days. Ten to 20 mph winds will accompany the warmth. Sounds like hopper weather.
A hopper invasion was predicted early in the year. The cool and wet spring we had may have slowed down the invasion. They're here now. You'd think that the fish would eat them like crazy. Maybe they will now that summer has started. If not, try an ant.
On the surface, you'll have to wait a little for our fall baetis (because summer is here). Caddis and Pseudos for now. Tiny baetis nymphs, purple nymphs, green machines, and zebra midges will keep you in fish. Bring a streamer rod. The weather and time of day hold the keys to your success and tactics.
Montana's weather is always crazy. As we transition into fall, expect to see some craziness At some point, it will settle into low clouds. For now, bring your sunblock.

Missouri River - September 23rd, 2010

58 °
FISHING: Great
Well, well, well......fall has turned to summer. Expect 80° and sunny for the weekend (and perhaps a little windy too). You may not be fishing little dries, but you will be catching large fish.
Great news for those who have and haven't experienced the Craig Bar - now that the town has made significant progress towards implementing a city sewer system, the Craig Bar can remain open for up to 5 years. Now that we have a resort tax and a property tax aimed at getting a long overdue sewer system, there will be something to do in the winter. Long live Uncle Joe. Good job Chris & Christy.
Back to fishing. It's going to be sunny for a little while. Don't put your hoppers away quite yet. Your standard nymph box will continue to work. Streamers produce large fish. Little dries? - Probably not.
The trees are turning color, the weather is very nice, the fish are huge and winter will be here soon. The Craig Bar is open.

Missouri River - September 21st, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
40 °
FISHING: Excellent
True to its nature, Montana's weather has a mind of its own. What was suppose to be heavy clouds and calm turned into sunny and windy. It's suppose to be cloudy today. It's mostly sunny so far. Unsettled weather is normal this time of year. Hang out long enough and you'll get your weather day and the fishing you're looking for.
For what it's worth, it's suppose to be cloudy and cool through Wednesday. Sunny and mild conditions will round out the week. We've had a taste of fall/winter. Montana doesn't appear to be quite ready for winter. Fall officially starts Wednesday.
Your box needs a wide variety of bugs right now - midges, caddis, October caddis, pseudos, baeties, ants, streamers, hoppers, attractor nymphs............. When the weather is right, small dries need to be at the forefront.
The river is prime for fall fishing. It continues to hold at 4,300 cfs and 57°. If the warmer weather does come our way, the river may go into a holding pattern in anticipation of true fall weather. When will that be?

Missouri River - September 20th, 2010
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
56 °
FISHING: Good
The Missouri seems to be fishiing like the screen of a heart monitor right now. Up and down, up and down. Peaks and valleys. Day to day, hour by hour, minute by minut, cast by cast. You get the picture. Nymphing has slowed down at the Dam and picked up throughout the rest of the river. Rainbow Chzec, Weight fly, Lil' Green Machine, Lightning Bugs, Zebras, WD-40's...the list goes on and seems pretty long with the top bug changing from day to day. Noticed more nice sized consistent rising fish today. Some of them ate CDC para Caddis, Spent Caddis and a delicous Buzz ball. Hopppers are still getting some attention, worth a go. We moved several fish on streamers today. Moved, chased rolled, boiled whatever you want to call it. Skiddish Smolts and Coffey's sparkle minnow outperformed thier drab cousins. Fish your streamers everywhere, slow and weedy, quick and fast flats, juicy rip rap banks. The fish are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Focus, stay with it make good casts. We shall over come. Just like the underdog Chicago Bears! GO BEARS!

Missouri River - September 19th, 2010
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
53 °
FISHING: Excellent
53° and 100% cloudy - it's calm too. Monday looks like more of the same. Water Temperature: 58°. River Flows: 4,300 cfs. Are you going to work?
Everything is poised for serious baetis fishing. Pseudos are in a class by themselves, otherwise we'd be there already. There are some BWO's, but not quite like they will be. Given that, we know that at least 7 boats hit the Pelican to Cascade section today. It starts down there first.
Midge (subsurface) patterns produce numbers and sizes up by the Dam. Standard nymphs and scuds produce the rest of the way down. Streamers are too good to resist.
Fall fishing is in full swing. While the river won't be packed because summer recreationists are gone. You will see a fair amount of drift boats, however. There are good reasons to be here. They're all in the river.
