 Peaking at around 7000cfs with this most recent rise, the Missouri has started to level out just a little bit. 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. For streamers use black, olive or brown sculpzillas, woolhead sculpins, standard buggers and JJ’s specials.
