The Missouri is sitting a few hundred cfs above 4000 right now, which is a perfectly good level for this time in the year. Tricos are buzzing around nearly every day, interspersed with caddis, PMDs, and yellow sallies. For dry flies, we’re looking at PMD cripples, standard Adams parachutes, midge clusters, elk hair caddis, parachute baetis, baetis button emergers, yellow sallies, and small flying ants. For subsurface, stick with sow bugs, czech nymphs, caddis pupae, scuds, small PTs and lightning bugs. For streamers use black, olive or brown sculpzillas, woolhead sculpins, standard buggers and JJ’s specials.
