Missouri River - Sun, May 8th

Flows have bee stable fro a few days at around 8100 cfs coming out of the dam so it seems like the fish are settling into some steady holding water. Look for inside bends and drop offs and fish plenty of weight. Prickly Pear and the Dearborn are both coming up and getting dirty but the main river should stay fine given the high volume of clean water coming out of the dam. Heavy hatches of midges and BWO's on cloudy days but very little consistent dry fly fishing is being found. There are enough March Browns on the lower river that one would thing the fish should get on them too. But nymphing continues to be the best
