Little Missouri Fly Fishing

Mike, please don't give up the reports.  I find them of great interest and I believe others do also.  There just doesn't seem to be as much activity on the message board as in times past, but please don't quit them.

A good friend is fishing the Little Mo this week.  He called me yesterday and said he was at Albert Pike Wednesday and the stocking truck put some 600 fish in.  Don't have information as to stocking numbers on the lower river but assume they stock both locations on the same day.  I believe the 600 number is the number published for Pike.  Hopefully the lower river numbers will coincide with the published amounts.  He said the lower river is still somewhat clouded from the lake turnover.

John, the dry fly you're using sure sounds interesting.  Are there any tutorials anywhere on tying it, and if not, would you share the recipe for it?  Can't wait to get back up to Little Mo, but may be awhile now.  Thanks for your report too John, Hen is doing a great job.

Thanks John.   We've fished Hinds in the past but only in the immediate area below the steps.  But I'd like to try the area you mentioned next time I'm up there.

Thanks Hen, that makes a lot of sense.  I'll give it a try.

Mike, I applaud you and Jeff for working out this arrangement for reports on the river.  Up until you started doing this I was beginning to think my computer wasn't receiving as I'd visit the site and no posts.

I live in Tyler, Tx and don't get to fish the Little Mo as much as I'd like but reading your interesting reports satisfies my absence to some extent.  Our trips are mostly in the fall to winter time frame and in early spring.  Hopefully we'll get to add more to that this next year.  We tend to fish the river from River Ridge to below Old Factory.  I'm not familiar with Sycamore Run but am assuming it's closer to the park area.

Sure hope you will continue with the reports, they are really appreciated.   

Thanks Jeff.  While we don't plan on hitting Albert Pike and the upper river, we just use it as a fall back if unscheduled generation happens.  We ran into that last March, none to speak of published and they had a repair situation at the dam and were generating 24 hours a day from Monday through Thursday.  No generation on Friday when we were scheduled to leave.

I'm not familiar with the natural aquatic insects that inhabit the Little Mo.  I've not heard anyone talking about using scuds or sowbug flies so I'd assumed there might not be any in the river.  Am I wrong?
