REPORTS: Hmmmm, this doesn't look good. Damaging hail and wind gusts of up to 40 mph. I don't think so. Too bad since other than the wind, conditions look to be ideal with the clouds and scattered showers. If by chance the weather guys have missed the mark, though, there could be some very good topwater action on PMDs, midges and baby bats. Ok, not the baby bats, but I also don't think the weater guys are wrong today. You're going to get beaten with your own diaper over there today Pete! Not great weather on The Smith today, but very nice water levels!
HATCHES: PMDs, midges, hoppers, caddis.
FLIES: Subsurface it'll be the standard Mo junk like Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12). For the dries, try comparaduns in 14s and 16s, size 18 cream colored cripples and parachute Adams, Griffith's gnats in 14 to 18, button emergers in 16s to 20s. We've also been getting lots of fish on Goddard and elk hair caddis in 14s. The hopper fishing is picking up daily and a yellow or tan Schroeder's hopper in a 10 has been money.
WEATHER: TODAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY... ISOLATED LATE MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SOME STORMS MAYBE SEVERE...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS 70 TO 75. SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH...BECOMING WEST 20 TO 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 30 PERCENT. TONIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY...

REPORTS: For pre-dryfly action in the morning, the bigger (#14) pink and grey scuds with red San Juan worms have been good nymph rig choices as have other standard fare such as RS2s, lightning bugs and smaller p-tails. Once the clouds move in, PMDs, and caddis have been really producing well once the fish are actively looking up. You should be able to find specific pods of working fish that'll eat your dries even early in the morning, but in general, the dryfly action is later in the day or cloud dependant. A soft hackle PMD emerger has been working really well for us behind a #14 royal stimulator. Prospecing with crickets and hoppers has also been turning some real fatties for us. Streamers have slowed way down with the lack of consistant cloud cover. The flow this morning below Holter is 2970. You should be able to count on a good day of fishing on the Mo today. There's still plenty of water for your Smith trip!
HATCHES: PMDs, midges, hoppers, caddis.

REPORTS: If the rain and cloud cover that they're predicting actually materializes, The Mo should fish very well again today. Even if it's sunny out, the fishing will still be very good, but not quite as in your face easy as it will be in cloud cover. The fish have been willing to eat a variety of smaller mayfly offerings in sizes 14 to 18. Smaller caddis such as elk hairs or Goddards have punished some very selective fish for us and have worked well as prospecting bugs when dropped off the back of mayflies or hoppers. We've been having very good luck with #14 royal stimulators and #12 hoppers when the sun's been an issue. If the clouds do appear, expect the streamer fishing to turn on hard again. The bigger (#14) pink and grey scuds with red San Juan worms have been good nymph rig choices as have other standard fare such as RS2s, lightning bugs and smaller p-tails. The flow this morning below Holter is up just a bit (50 cfs) from yesterday morning to 2890. You should be able to count on a good day of fishing on the Mo today. Here's a look at the Smith River graph which has today's flow at 275.
HATCHES: PMDs, midges, hoppers, caddis.

REPORTS: More clouds with insignificant winds forecast. Sounds like it's shaping up to be another good day on The Mo today! It's been VERY good fishing over there the past 2 days. Water temps are cold enough that the fishing's been pretty good even in the sun, although not nearly what it has been in the cloud cover. We've been having luck with a variety of dry flies when the fish have been up and also just prospecting the banks where nothing's been rising. In general, a #14 to #18 wulff, cripple or parachute Adams should get it done on most risers. Trailing a small Goddard off the back will increase your odds pretty dramatically. We had lots of good fish move to #14 royal stimulators and #12 hoppers the past 2 days. The bright sun has slowed the streamer action, but in certain runs, the nymphing will reamain gonzo even in the bright conditions. The bigger (#14) pink and grey scuds with red San Juan worms have been doing evil things in these waist deep riffles. Searching and destroying along the banks with a yellow or tan Schroeder's hopper has been producing lots of fish off quiet banks where nothing's been rising. Today's flow below Holter Dam is 2800 which is down about 40 cfs from this time yesterday morning. Here is a happy Smith River graph for your purusal.
HATCHES: PMDs, midges, hoppers, caddis.
FLIES: Subsurface it'll be the standard Mo junk like Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12).

FISHING: Fair
Stream Flow Information [click here]
Missouri River Montana FWP Guide [click here]
The Mighty Mo is flowing at 2860 C.F.S. The Mos is comming into its own and the hatch activity has been improving. The Caddis and PMD's are starting to pop and the dry fly fishing has been good. Your best bet for dry fly action is downstream of Craig where the water starts to warm a bit. Nymphing is good as usual with sow bugs, scuds and mayfly imitations. The Mo will be the place to be if you like fishing dry flies to heads and pods of fish.
Fly Pattern Suggestions: Soft Hackle Sow Bug #16-18, Ray Charles #16-18, San Juan Worm #10, Pink Scud #12-14, Rainbow Warrior #16-18, Red Midge Larvae #18-20, Olive Midge Larvae #18-20, Sawyer PT #16-18, Flashback PT #16-18, PMD Thorax #16-20, Parachite PMD #16-20, Tilt Wing Dun #16-18, Hi Vis Caddis #14-16, Bloom's Parachute Caddis #14-16, Hen Wing Caddis #14-16

REPORTS: Things will be better in the clouds, and it looks like there could be some substantial cloud cover on and off throughout the day. Water temps are cold enough that the fishing's been remaining pretty good even in the sun. We've been having luck with a variety of dry flies when the fish have been up and also just prospecting the banks where nothing's been rising. It's also time to start thinking about hoppers again. In general, a #14 to #18 wulff, cripple or parachute Adams should get it done on most risers. Trailing a small Goddard off the back will increase your odds pretty dramatically.

The bigger (#14) pink and grey scuds with red San Juan worms have been doing evil things in these waist deep riffles. You should have good fishing on the Mo today. You can put your surf board away, these Smith River numbers mean fish and lots of 'em! Have fun!

REPORTS: Off and on clouds today with better action during periods of clouds. Imagine that. Look for the fish to be up and eating smaller mayfly offerings along with the caddis by midday. A number 16 Goddard with the antennae clipped is still doing good things for us. It's also time to start thinking about hoppers again (we had some stellar hopper action on the Mo over a month ago before the last cold front set in). In general, a #14 to #18 wulff, cripple or parachute Adams should get it done on most risers. Trailing a small Goddard off the back will increase your odds pretty dramatically. The bright sun has slowed the streamer action, but in certain runs, the nymphing will reamain gonzo even in the bright conditions. The bigger (#14) pink and grey scuds with red San Juan worms have been doing evil things in these waist deep riffles. You should have good fishing on the Mo today. Your Smith River numbers are sure looking better than a week ago!
HATCHES: Midges, blue wings, hoppers, caddis.
FLIES: Yellow poxy head buggers, green and chartreuse buggers, size 16 and 18 cripples and parachute patterns. Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12). For the dries, try palaminos in red, tiny comparaduns, size 18 cream colored cripples and parachute Adams, Griffith's gnats in 14 to 18, button emergers in 16s to 20s.

REPORTS: Sounds like a perferct Missouri day on tap for today! Partly cloudy skies, fairly warm temperatures and mostly mellow winds. This could be a very happy thing. Cloud cover will have lots of fish up and eating while a break in the clouds usually means time to head subsurface. Later in the day and into the evening, the caddis have been moving fish even in the bright sun. Wind shouldn't be too much of an issue on the Mo today and even in reasonably breezy conditions the fish'll be up and they'll be more than willing to eat. Smaller royal Wulffs and cripple patterns seem to be the name of the game earlier in the day with caddis becoming the focus later in the day. Skating a Goddard or elk hair is a fun alternative to delicate cripple presentations. Smaller red junk subsurface, on tandem nymph rigs, is a no-brainer if you're not having much luck with other tactics. Streamers continue to be effective and seem to be working in a wide variety of water types from shallow sloping cobbles to choppy riffles to waist deep current along banks. We've been taking lots of really nice fish out of very shallow, bonefish flats, type water lately. Not unusual on the Mo and definitely worth your attention these days. The rise and fall of The Smith . . .
HATCHES: Midges, blue wings, hoppers, caddis.
FLIES: Yellow poxy head buggers, green and chartreuse buggers, size 16 and 18 cripples and parachute patterns. Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12). For the dries, try palaminos in red, tiny comparaduns, size 18 cream colored cripples and parachute Adams, Griffith's gnats in 14 to 18, button emergers in 16s to 20s.
WEATHER: TODAY...PARTLY CLOUDY... HIGHS 65 TO 70...55 TO 60 IN THE MOUNTAINS LIGHT WINDS. TONIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS... A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS EARLY IN THE EVENING.

REPORTS: Not much change to report. You'll still be able to find pods of risers when the wind's behaving itself and when you do, they'll be more than willing to eat. Smaller royal Wulffs and cripple patterns seem to be the name of the game although there have been LOTS of caddis out and about too. Later in the day, the caddis will make skating a Goddard or elk hair a fun alternative to delicate cripple presentations. If the wind keeps you subsurface, once again, you'll do better with red after about noon. Before noon, though, especially on the lower river, black has been the key for us. Streamers continue to be effective and seem to be working in a wide variety of water types from shallow sloping cobbles to choppy riffles to waist deep current along banks. Moderate winds today should have you fising a variety of bugs and tactics. Well, hmmm, at least it's dropping!

REPORTS: Look for wind to be gusting to annoying levels on the Mo today. You'll still be able to find pods of risers here and there and when you do, they'll be more than willing to eat. Smaller royal Wulffs and cripple patterns are all we've had to show 'em lately to get them to participate in our silly games.

Streamers continue to be effective and seem to be working in a wide variety of water types from shallow sloping cobbles to choppy riffles to waist deep current along banks. You must've done something REALLY bad in another life if you're supposed to be launching on the Smith in the next few days. This river has risen about as fast as I can ever remember. As of last night, flows were over 1700 . . . yes, 1700 cfs. That's gonna leave a mark.
