Missouri River Fishing Report – 8/7


Missouri river carp fishing 

It’s a warm weedy beast right  now, but the fish are still chowing dries pretty good.  To avoid some of the green goo, stay above Craig. 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.
