      70-degree days in October is a novel thing. For the ski-heads, it’s prolonging the anticipation, but for those fearful of the months to come, it’s a welcome surprise.

  • Missouri River Fishing Report – 10/4

        We haven’t seen the Baetis over here like we would have hoped by now, but it won’t be long. It should be in the low 70s until early next week. Smaller stuff is great, like BWOs and pseudos.
