The Missouri is holding steady around 4400cfs, which is quite normal for this time of year. The summer algae is starting to build up, so nymphing can be a little messy at times. There are dry fly opportunities to be had. 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.
