Fishing Reports

Missouri River - Mon, May 23rd

The flows have been dancing around 15000 cfs the last few days so things are somewhat stable for the time being. Getting more fish on worms since the bump up late last week, but smaller nymphs and sowbug patterns have been doing well in the Holter Dam-Craig stretch. Longer leaders in the 12' range make a big difference in catch rates now as does getting the weight right. The Dearborn is puking mud into the river, making the river pretty off-color, but doable below Mid-Canon. This should change over the next few days, hopefully improving!
