Fishing Report: April 29,2012

By May 1, 2012No Comments

I was able to get out on Sunday and experience the World Famous Missouri River.  Flows have been up a little bit for the last couple of weeks.  I checked it Sunday Morning and the Mo was sitting at 6750 cfs.  Overall it was a great nymphing.  Lightening bugs (purple, silver, gold) was a great top fly followed by a midge pattern (juju midge, mercury midge, blood midge. etc.)  The weather was changing throughout the whole day.  Clouds would move in and out so there wasn’t a great consistent weather pattern for a dry fly day.  I found a group of sippers a 1/4 mile above Craig.  That was it for the day.  I would have probably had more success staying out later in the evening.  Its been great to see the BWO mixed in the the mass midges consuming the river.
