: Missouri River: PMD's are starting to tail off, but the caddis fishing has been epic! There have also been reports of drakes and this is certainly the time to be on the MO. The area from Craig to stickney has had the most consistent action on the surface. It has paid off to get on the river early and stake out your dry fly spot as quickly as you can. The emergence has been happening around 9:00 to 10:00 with bugs hanging out for a few hours after that. When the fish get really selective over here, which happens during high sun. It pays off to throw a down stream drift to them. Park the boat or position yourself up stream 50-60 feet from the fish. Throw that reach cast and let the bug float naturally into their face. They wont refuse. During the heat of the day, nymphing has been pretty consistent. Scuds, sow bugs, and small mayfly nymphs have been getting the job done. The PMD split back trailing a ray Charles has been a good rig as of late. Small flashy bugs such as a lightning bug or a rainbow warrior have also been good bets. In terms of caddis, this particular strain of caddis spins at night, so the spent caddis patterns will be a good bet. This is a very overlooked hatch but can provide awesome fishing in the low evening light! Keep an eye for tricos as well. The little bastards cant be far off. Reported by: Montana Troutfitters |
