REPORTS: When the wind lays down the early morning trico fishing has been very good. As the tricos get sparse by late morning look for hoppers and terrestrials to keep you hooked up. Capping off the days has been a great caddis hatch, especially on the upper stretches. The water temps this morning is 65, as we head into August look for the low flows and higher water temps to slow the fishing down.
HATCHES: PMDs, tricos, midges, hoppers, caddis.
FLIES: Subsurface it'll be the standard Mo junk like Ray Charles, eggs, size 16 to 20 flashback p-tails, lightning bugs, RS2's, red San Juan worms, pink and grey scuds (pinks in 16s and 18s and greys all the way up to a #12). For the dries, try comparaduns in 14s and 16s, size 18 cream colored cripples and parachute Adams, Griffith's gnats in 14 to 18, button emergers in 16s to 20s. We've also been getting lots of fish on Goddard and elk hair caddis in 14s.
WEATHER: Today. Mostly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs 80 to 90. 75 to 80 in the mountains. Southwest winds around 10 mph shifting to the west 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Tonight. Partly cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms in the evening. Lows 45 to 55. Northwest winds 5 to 15 mph shifting to the southeast around 10 mph after midnight. Monday. Partly cloudy. Scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs 75 to 85. 70 to 75 in the mountains. Southeast winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. Monday night. Partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Lows 50 to 55. Northwest winds around 10 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent. Tuesday. Partly cloudy with isolated showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75 to 85. Northwest winds 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. Tuesday night. Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the mid 50s to lower 60s.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: We're open 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. every day in our quest to help you tease the slippery wildlife.
