 REPORTS: Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!! Unlike the waters out here in our area, the Missouri is still holding stable and fishing well at 8400 cfs. The subsurface action is going to be with the normal strap hangers. Small red and pink scuds, RS2′s, Ray-Charles, egg patterns or a red Amex should get you hooked up today. The streamer fishing has been excellent as well. Standard buggers in olive or black, squirrel zonkers and heavy sculpins will get chased by the big guys. If you see the little spring baetis, use a smaller parachute pattern around a size 16 or 18. With the fluctuating flows it’s important to mess around a little with the depth of your strike indicator. Finding the sweet spot can take a little time but when you find it you’ll know. Don’t forget to bring your jacket today there’s a 60% chance of rain.. If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away. The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!
