Fishing Report: August 26, 2012

Rainbow Warrior Madness!!!!

There are weeds on the Missouri!  I heard a guide say “it is what it is”.  I think this is a great quote because “it is”.  Your going to have to clean your flies often but you can still get them.  I had success on a UV Tan Chezch and a size 20 Rainbow Warrior.  Keep in mind that it is the end of August and those fish have seen a lot of flies.  Not a lot of bugs either.  A few tricos, caddis, ants, and I did not see a hopper today!  They work though.  When fishing is tough and I get to witness a 15 year kid stick a 19 inch rainbow-is it really that bad?  We caught 6 fish today, picked off a lot of weeds, and had a blast.  Thank God for the World Famous Missouri River!!!
