River Fishing Report
Brrrrr....... only 43° this morning. Steam was coming off the river as the river's warmth hit the cool mountain air. It's not quite fall yet, but it sure feels like it. Got fleece? You won't need it for the next couple of days, but you will this weekend as temperatures plummet to the mid 60's for daytime highs.
Many anglers are hovering around the Dam with good reason. They're consistently catching very large fish with nymphs (midge larva). Is that why you come to the Missouri? If not, check out the canyon section. Success on hoppers is a more common theme.
We don't expect the river to come alive on the surface until we get into what the calendar says is autumn. Still, with the cool temperatures and a river that is in great shape, don't count it out entirely. For late August, the river is in prime shape.
