June saw dry fly fishing come into full swing! With mixed weather to start the month, the Missouri established it's classic summer form by mid-June. A few rivers in Montana had hoot-owl restrictions, however the Missouri did not see the same regulation. Daily highs varied from 75-95°F. With flows around 4,500 CFS with water temperatures approaching 60°F.
PMDs made their daily appearance during the late morning hours. Caddis were more prevalent in the canyon section but hatched in decent numbers on the upper river as well. Anglers had great success rolling caddis blind, or posting up on rising fish with PMD cripples, spinners and emergers.
Nymphing offered excellent opportunities both shallow and deep. Weighted flies, sow bugs, split case PMDs and perdigons were some excellent options. Keep in mind that deep nymphing will produce a healthy number of white fish!
Streamer fishing came on strong during our overcast days, but remained a less popular option on the river in June. If anglers were inclined to toss a streamer, smaller, flashy patterns on bright days and black/olive patterns during overcast conditions.
Drop us a line, and we'll see you soon at the ranch!
