Missouri River Fishing Report – 8/16


 Simms Fishing Gear 

 

Get up early or don’t bother getting up, unless you plan on fishing the last hours of the day. Mornings and evenings are when you’ll find the best bug action and the most pods. Because of the greenery, it’s best to stay on top. For dry flies, use 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.
