Missouri River Fishing Report – 6/28

Dry Fly Fishing - Missoula Montana

Rock Creek Fishing Report - 3/19 

 

The Missouri is holding flows between 4000 and 5000 cfs. There are still a lot of boats out here right now, but the fishing makes up for it (and is the reason why they’re there in the first place). When the wind is calm, the dry fly fishing has been awesome, but nymphing is still the reliable method. For dry flies, we’re looking at PMD cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair caddis, parachute baetis, baetis button emergers and small flying ants. For subsurface, stick with sow bugs, czech nymphs, caddis pupae, scuds, small PTs and lightning bugs (or a Pat’s Rubberlegs, which worked well this week, weirdly enough). For streamers use black, olive or brown sculpzillas, woolhead sculpins, standard buggers and JJ’s specials.
