Missouri River - December 30th, 2006
supplied by: Montana Troutfitters
FISHING: Poor
Haven't had a solid report from the Wolf Creek/Craig area as of late. Most reports have been of wind and nasty temperatures, so I personally would wait and check back and as soon as I hear something good I will post it right away. Fishing will be pretty much the same as it is all winter long, sow bugs, scuds, small midge larvae and some eggs the only section that is really worth a hoot in the winter is from the dam down to Craig, and I even like to shorten it up and go afterbay to Wolf Creek...

Missouri River - December 7th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
46 °
FISHING: Good
It's not bad out there. High temperatures may reach into the lower 50's this weekend. Winter? Don't worry. It will be back. For now, enjoy the solitude the river is certain to deliver. It's pretty quiet out there. You might find a few weekend warriors out there, but that's about it.
Midges, buggers, small nymphs, scuds, and the W.O.R.M.
The Trout Shop Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Missouri River - November 10th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
45 °
FISHING: Great
Cooler temperatures in the tolerable range will be around for several days. The air temperature will be about the same as the river temperature - 46°. You should probably get out there. W.I.N.D. seems to be over with. Winter is being announced with the cool and light breeze surrounding the river. Soon, if not already, you'll be dreaming of the tropics. 1/0 Merkin?
BWO's, Midges, Small Nymphs, and Buggers. Pick your pleasure. Sleep in and enjoy a cup of coffee. It takes a little time to get things brewing on the river.

supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
50 °
FISHING: Excellent
At 48°, the Missouri continues to produce in a big way. Captive Duns and Midges are bringing big noses to the surface. Mostly Cloudy weather will bring on Mostly Dry Fly in comfortable fall conditions. The tourists are gone.

Missouri River - October 20th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Excellent
River Temp: 53°F. Cloudy with light rain will meet you on the river on Friday. Mostly cloudy and very fishy will greet you on Saturday. Clouds are in the picture most of the time. The Missouri continues to fish like crazy. Layering is a must. Don't worry. The steady action will help keep you warm. The browns are hungry. A wide variety of fly patterns are producing. Everything from small, flashy midge larva to medium-sized stimulators should be in your arsenal. Baetis dominate - especially pseudos. Finally, size 18 BWO's are in the mix. Black posts will help you pick out your fly from the baetis soup. If the fish aren't on top and you can't bring yourself to fish nymphs, chuck a bugger. Stay with it. You'll likely find some large specimens.

Missouri River - October 12th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
60 °
FISHING: Excellent
Heavy clouds gave way to S.U.N.S.H.I.N.E. today. It was nice out there. No worries, we still had fish on top in the afternoon. Enjoy the sunny weather while it lasts. It looks like it will last through Saturday. On Sunday, the Missouri will show its health as the clouds move in. Break out your dry flies. The river is very healthy. Conditions are excellent. Water temp: 55° F.
A wide variety of fly patterns are working (very well). Everything from small, flashy midge larva to medium-sized stimulators should be in your arsenal. Baetis dominate - especially pseudos. Finally, size 18 BWO's are in the mix. Caddis are still enjoying the nice weather. If the fish aren't on top and you can't bring yourself to fish nymphs, chuck a bugger. Stay with it. You'll likely find some large specimens.

Missouri River - October 8th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED: 
45 °
FISHING: Excellent
Cool and at least partly cloudy weather is on tap for many days to come. At 56 - 57°F, the Missouri is brewing. You should see the steam in the morning. Pseudos galore, midges early and late, October caddis, and perhaps a few blue wings. At what water temperature will the blue wings come out in force? We'll likely find out over the next few days. You'll have to break out the layers as nighttime lows reach into the lower 20's. Brrrr. The fish can't wait nor can the bugs.
A wide variety of fly patterns are working (well). Everything from small, flashy midge larva to medium-sized stimulators should be in your arsenal. The clouds aren't thick, but they are more to the mostly instead of partly side. If you like to fish small dries, now is the time. Afternoons are pretty amazing....ask Dane Huzarsky.

Missouri River - October 4th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
52 °
FISHING: Excellent
Water temp: 58° - Baetis soup will be on the menu for the rest of the week. The question is, "Will it be Blue Wings and / or will it be Pseudos?" It's going to be cold enough...... Lows will dip into the low 30's. With cooling water temps and damper conditions, the odds of a BWO fest are very good. The river is pretty steamy in the morning. The trees are yellow and the clouds are moving in. Sounds buggy.
Expect to see pseudos out in mass, midges early and late, and an afternoon caddis hatch. Hopefully, the caddis will give way to the long awaited BWO. Small nymphs, flashy midge stuff, buggers, october caddis larva, and the worm all work at times. Where you are fishing matters.

Missouri River - October 2nd, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
52 °
FISHING: Excellent
Water temp: 57° - If you picked this week to be here, you may have hit it perfectly. The cool, thick, clouds we have been waiting for are here. By Wednesday, you'll know that fall is here to stay. Nighttime lows will reach the upper 30's. It feels cold out there. The water and the fish will feel it. With cooling water temps and damper conditons, the odds of a BWO fest are very good. They have to show soon. Regardless, expect to see pseudos out in mass, midges early and late, and an afternoon caddis hatch. Small nymphs, flashy midge stuff, buggers, october caddis larva, and the worm all work at times. Where you are fishing matters.

Missouri River - September 27th, 2006
supplied by: The Trout Shop
RECORDED:
70 °
FISHING: Great
Mostly cloudy, a slight breeze out of the north, and cool temperatures will greet you on the river Wednesday. It looks golden. Thursday thru Saturday look like nice days to be outdoors. We'd rather test the clouds. You might have to wait a few days before you get to taste them again. We've seen the little green guys flying around. You might have to wait a few days before you see them on the water as well. Be patient. For now, pseudos, midges, tricos?, hoppers, streamers, midge larva, october caddis larva, the worm, ....... caddis late.
