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.

Missouri River - September 27th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
FISHING: Great
Fished the Missouri Sat and Sun from the Dam to Craig. Nymphing was on fire both days. We caught a lot of fish on zebra midges, caddis nymphs, and the purple crust nymph. Fish were loaded on just about every weed line. Lots of people fishing up near the dam but it seemed to clear out by mid morning. We caught fish on nearly every weed line all the way down to Craig. We also had a decent amount of fish eating the hopper for the little bit that we fished it. We heard mixed reports on hopper fishing in town from others so I think we may be at the tail end of the hopper fishing season on the Missouri. There was a mixture of caddis and pseudo may’s on the water during the day and spotty groups of rising fish. However, it seemed where fish were rising they were fairly keyed in and consistent. It was a great fishing weekend and great weather.

Missouri River - September 25th, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
88 °
FISHING: Excellent
Tomorrow (Monday) is another day much like today. The big difference will be the temperature. Instead of reaching a blazing 90°, the start of the work week will only break into the low 70's. It will likely turn colder as the week progresses. Clouds aren't really in the picture. Moderate southwest winds with gusts to 20 mph. will be the norm. For now, keep your ants and hoppers handy. With the forecasted wind and abundance of natural terrestrials, conditions will be ripe for a big bug adventure.
Early and late will produce on top. Tricos are still in the picture. Midges and caddis are found in good numbers. Streamers produce as well as dries. Nymphs work all the time.
Our trees are losing their leaves and changing colors. It won't be long before the little green guys you are waiting for are a daily event.

Missouri River - September 21st, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
76 °
FISHING: Excellent
Simply stellar at times.......Early mornings on the upper river produce on dries and streamers in a big way. Tricos, midges, fall skittering caddis and olive buggers. If you can't get them those ways, nymphs work seemingly all the time. Don't worry, you'll find plenty of boats circling around the Dam. There's a lot of bent rods within a 200 foot radias. Some of them have wild fish on the end of the line and some have fish washed over the dam during spring runoff. As you move downstream, the action slows somewhat, the crowds thin and the fish get incredibly hot. Fishing reports are excellent on all sections of the river.
The cool and cloudy weather we had for the last few days showed what the fall will be like - even better than it is now. For the next few days, you'll have to put up with summer weather. Highs will reach the mid 80's and the wind will clip along between 15 and 20 mph. Get out early to boost your chances with small dries. There's a ton of hoppers and the fish are still eating them. An afternoon float through the canyon looks pretty enticing.
Pseudos are out in droves. Legitimate BWO's are on the water when the weather is right. Black flying ants are all over the lower river. October Caddis are starting to show themselves. The next cool and cloudy weather snap should produce solid river results. If you're a local, watch the weather to plan you sick days.

Missouri River - September 12th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED:
83 °
FISHING: Great
We had a pretty successful day yesterday. We did decent on hoppers and ants, some fish came 4" from the bank and others were caught mid river. Most of the fish we snagged in the mouth were on a parachute Adams. A few of the nicer rainbows we got would hit the Adams like they were eating a hopper.
Nymph fishing: midges, Quigley’s Midge Pupa-green, WD-40's, Little Green Machines, Lightning Bugs, and Czechs.

Missouri River - September 11th, 2011

RECORDED: 
85 °
FISHING: Excellent
Just got back from a quick trip to the MO. It was magical dry fly fishing. Lots of fish rising to various bugs. Trico's in the morning, caddis in the afternoon. The hopper fishing is decent, but our best fly has been the ant. Each trout may be keyed in on a certain insect, but they cannot resist the ant. The weeds are getting worse so fishing above the surface is the way to go. The water levels are great and the fish are as strong as ever.

Missouri River - September 6th, 2011
supplied by: Big R Fly Shop
RECORDED:
85 °
FISHING: Great
Fished from "The Dam" to "The Bridge" last night starting at about 6. There was a pseudo storm which didn't seem to affect the fish much. We threw Keith's Stag Caddis followed by the CDC Caddis emerger and had non stop eats and saw heads the whole way down to the bridge. Midway we switched to a Missouri River Special and they ate that too. Talked to a few people at the boat ramp and they were doing really well nymphing throughout the day. The caddis in the evening didn't seem to get thick until about an hour before dark...however they seemed to be keyed in to caddis nearly the whole time.

Missouri River - September 2nd, 2011
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
59 °
FISHING: Excellent
Stable flows and stable water temperatures have the river perking. Cool, very cool (low of 37° tonight and a high of 60° tomorrow) air temperatures have helped turn the dog days of summer into a sweet spot to be. Crowds have taken a breather. The fish are cooperating like the old days.
Trico eating pods start out your day, hopper gulping afternoons are providing steady entertainment, nymphs work seemingly all the time, and the evening caddis action continues late into the evening. Buggers.........................
At 6,000 cfs, a boat helps, but isn't 100% required. From what we're told, we'll see 6,000 cfs for the rest of the year. Awesome!

Missouri River - August 30th, 2011

FISHING: Excellent
Tricos are the real event. Fish are eating them all day. (Chris can hardly believe it). Hopper Droppers work great with size 14 - 16 purple and gold weight flies, silver and green lighting bugs, olive hare's ears and flash back pheasant tails from Wolf Creek to Mid Canon. Streamers are fishing good at the Dam. So are 18 to 20 black zebra midges and small nymphs. Nymphing is very good.
High temperatures on Wednesday will only reach into the 60's.
The river level is excellent. Fish raise everywhere in the morning and all day depending on the wind. There are perfect weedless meadow banks with fish raising on tricos the entire length. Floating weeds are very manageable. According to FWP, the water level will stay at 6,000 cfs for the rest of the year. We'll see.... The bottom of the river above and below is a perfect checker board of clean gravel patches and weedbeds.
Fall is going to be great.

Tricos.....finally. Anglers......fewer than a week ago. Rising fish......steady throughout the day.
Great weather will find its way to the river for days to come. High temperatures will reach into the low 90's for a couple of days and will cool to the low 80's as the week progreeses. Wind has not been an issue (most of the time). You'll find risers in the midday sun, but you have to take a closer look. When the clouds come in or the evening sun fades, the fish are obvious. Enjoy. Hoppers are starting to come into there own. Cooler nights are helping to keep the river's temp down - 65°.
