Fall is here and the fish are still eating on top and everywhere else ...... despite how fat they are already. The picture above was taken two months ago. There's plenty of bugs.
The allure to the Missouri is here:
- Flat water dry fly fishing to large wild trout.
Foul weather will keep the pleasure floaters off the river. It will keep the bugs on the river. Calm winds, heavy clouds, light intermittent rain, and cool conditions are giving anglers the edge. Soupy weather has brought pseudos out in droves. Tricos are timed differently. Fall Caddis are heavier than previous years. Midges are plentiful. Hoppers and ants are steady producers. Weeds can be a nuisance while streamer fishing. The fish are worth it. Nymphs produce most all the time. Things start later and end earlier. No blue wings to speak of quite yet.
Water temp: 59° It's getting better daily.
Sunday: Showers likely, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 55. West southwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming north. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Monday: Sunny, with a high near 67. South wind between 6 and 9 mph.
