It looks like the Kid’s Choice Awards were held out on the Mo’ recently. It’s tough going, but if you can find some risers in the late evening, around sunset, you can do well. That or stick close to the dam, which is a little less green. 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.
