Missouri Report – 9/9


DSC_0021Happy cloud cover in store . . not so happy lightening! Fall is finally coming – maybe.  The nymphing over here has gotten to be less frustrating with the algae moving out and the clouds have the fish looking up during what was pretty much a midday slow down even a week or two ago.  The tricos are still a good bet in the mornings but by midday, the fish will be on a variety of offerings from smaller, dark bodied streamers to dries like #18 royal Wulffs and purple hazes.  We’re still having very good luck on hoppers, ants and bees.  Once things cool down for real, it’ll be minutes away from baetis!

1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday – Every Week

 

FLIES: Elk hairs, para and comparadun tricos, standard para Adams in a 14-18, hoppers in a 10 or 12, dull colored and sparsely tied streamers, soft hackles, the traditional bevvy of tailwater nymphs including zebras, rs2s, beerheads, lighting bugs, scuds . . .

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Lots more elbow room over here these days.
