There are two ways to avoid the snot. One way is to post up below the dam and stay there. The other is to tie on some tiny tricos and fish the pods. Both might not sound all that appealing to certain people, but it’s the reality of the Mo at this point. That said, the boats have cleared out a bit, so it could be quite good. For dry flies, we’re looking at tricos, 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, lightning bugs and micro marflies. For streamers use black, olive or brown sculpzillas, woolhead sculpins, standard buggers and JJ’s specials.
