Missouri River - April 9th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
53 °
FISHING: Great
The weather was percect! It was one of those days were you almost don't even care about how the river is fishing. From what I had to fish in yesterday (freezing wind burnt face)....... to today ( no wind sun burnt face) it was awesome. We streamer fished most the the day and picked up few fish on skiddish smolts, Olive MT mouthwashes, JJ's, and few flashes on big nasty stuff. We threw a skwala later in the day.... Nothing. Found a live one though. Lots of people out enjoying the day.

Missouri River - April 8th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
30 °
FISHING: Good
Pretty slow on streamers today.... We did really well on scuds, hot bead sow bugs, hot worms, hot this, and hot that...... It was really nasty out. Little bits of wind and lots of wet snow. I'm not sure what the high was for the day, I don't think it got above mid 20's with the wind. Good thing happends though..... my girlfriend lasted the entire day and we caught a few fish.

Missouri River - April 8th, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
29 °
FISHING: Fair
Moderate, but wet snow showers are blanketing the area this morning. It doesn't look like it's going to quit for awhile. While it's snowy, it's calm and barely freezing.
There's hope. This weekend, temperatures are suppose to climb to the mid 40's to low 50's. Clouds will come and go. Wind is not expected to be a big issue. We'd like to say that you'll see some dry fly fishing, but we remain skeptical as water temperatures are still only in the upper 30's. We'll see. Streamers and nymphs will continue to rule the day.
The wet snow coming down will likely melt off quickly. The Deerborn has already blown out once this year. It could happen again. You'll still have plenty of water to fish. Don't worry (be happy).

New report from Brian at Finfetchers!
According to the calendar, Spring arrived a couple weeks ago but those of you who have been trying to get on the water might have something to say about that. When the weather allows, the fishing on the Missouri has been pretty good. A large number of Rainbows are in the tributaries right now but anglers are still able to get a few into the net. Nymphing is always a good bet this time of year with Firebead nymphs being an absolute must. Other patterns should include Ray Charles, Zebra Midge and Rainbow Chezks. Takes can be annoyingly subtle so set every movement you notice. Streamer fishermen have been doing pretty well focusing on the slower water and casting sink tips with darker bodied streamers and buggers. Slumpbusters, Foxee Clousers, Sculpzillas are all a good bet right now. Dry fly fishing has been pretty spotty but like spring, it will eventually warm our bodies. Cloudy sloppy days will help Midges pop and create those rolling Midge clusters you have been fantasizing about. Considering the numbers of fish that are securing the future of our fishery things are looking pretty good and will only get better from here on out. Weather will warm, fish will return and bugs will hatch. Enjoy the river!

Missouri River - April 3rd, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
39 °
FISHING: Fair
We're back from a wonderful trip to Argentina. Chocolate Lab Expeditions and Fly Fishing Patagonia showed us a great time. We will go back as soon as possible. Wild trout and golden dorado kept us very occupied. And, yes, the wine is very good too.
The Missouri is acting much like it did when we left. Cold water, unstable weather and anxious fishermen. Many displaced fishermen from the Missoula area kept the fly shop busy. With cooler weather on the way, their rivers should clear up and keep them at home. We appreciate their business, but know that they'd rather stay closer to home.
Fortunately, the Mo cooperated for them and helped them salvage some trips. Streamers, nymphs (pink & flashy), black & red midge larvae and a few dry flies worked some magic. With the river still at at a chilly 38°, most of the action was on the bottom. Streamer fishing appears to be the highlight.
More typical early spring weather is on the way. It will be in the 40's for the most part. Clouds and wind will come and go. If you can get a warm and calm afternoon, you could see some noses. With more snow on the way, the ski resorts will remain busy. Unless we see a continued blow out of the west side, the river will be fairly calm. Having the river to yourself is very nice. That didn't happen over the weekend.
Angling reports were generally favorable. Stay warm and enjoy the solitude of the river.

Missouri River - March 21st, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED:
35 °
FISHING: Good
Streamer day today, I can smell it. It is a little overcast and we should have clouds most of the day. Its 30 degrees and spitting a little snow right now. I would throw Brown or Big Horn Urchin, Brown Sleezeburgers, Sparkle Minnow's and Sculpin's and Sex Dungeon. Nymphing has been slow, hot bead stuff with an 18 lightning bug off the back, would be a good set up. We have Hot Worms in black, wine, brown and red they are always a sure bet.

Missouri River - March 19th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED: 
35 °
FISHING: Fair
Erik, Scotty and Sam fished the Missouri from Craig to Dearborn on Saturday afternoon. Erik and Scotty nymphed up high above Wolf Creek bridge early but it was really cold that morning and Erik got one. We nymphed/streamer fished from Craig to Spite with very poor results. It started snowing when we got to Spite. We switched to streamers, natural colors and standard size and did fairly well down to Dearborn landing 6 browns all 18-20 inches and missing quite a few others. Saw some big carp just before the take out as well :) We caught fish on JJ Specials and Olive bugger renditiions... tried some of the patterns that have been hot lately and they weren't moving fish so we reverted back to more traditional patterns with little to no flash and we started getting a lot more takes on Saturday.

Could it be true? Are we finally leaving the ice age? Temperatures will reach into the upper 40's to low 50's for the weekend. With water temperatures in the mid 30's, don't expect to catch a bunch of hot fish off the surface. You'll still be seeking the depths, but you'll enjoy the warmth of the springtime sun.

You had the best and the worst. It was a beautiful day on the river yesterday for most of the day. Hopefully, you managed to escape the river before the fierce winds came. Wow. Back to winter for a couple of days and then more seasonable temperatures in the 30's and 40's. Spring is 15-1/2 days away.

Missouri River - March 3rd, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
41 °
FISHING: Fair
There's not a lot to report, but..........
We survived the long-winded arctic weather that has hovered over us all winter. High temperatures will be warm, very warm for the next few days. We'll reach the 40's! Perhaps a midge or two will show.
Reading the entire weather report turned out to be a curse. By Sunday, we'll reach a high barely above 0. When will we see a true glimpse of spring?
