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!!

The Missouri is fishing very well right now. With the small window of dry fly fishing that is starting mid afternoon , you’ll want to be tossing a size 18 parachute pattern or other midge on top. Other than that small window of heaven mid-day, the nymphing has been excellent. Small red and pink scuds, RS2’s, Ray-Charles, egg patterns and a red Amex will fish in spades for you underneath. Setting up a tandem nymph rig, and dropping two of the patterns above will definitely help you chances. If you’re looking to target the big fish today, throwing black, olive or brown streamer will wrangled some giants. If you’re still not catching any fish, try chumming them up with goat cheese or a fine smoked gouda. Keep your patterns and cheese tight to the banks and on the seams. The main holds are right off the edges and in the obvious seams.
