Little Missouri Fly Fishing

Was there any indication as to which sites were stocked?  Thanks Mike.

Has anyone ever asked them if they would do a delayed harvest in certain areas of the river?  Of course, enforcement would have to accompany that policy, but it's just a thought.

Have just been advised by Mrs Christy Graham of the AGFC that they will stock fish on the lower Little Missouri today and that fish were stocked at Albert Pike last Thursday. Thank you Mrs Graham!!  The fishing here had come to a dead haunt. A 2 fish limit sure would help, or even all catch and release would be better, because of the VERY low numbers of fish stocked.

They will generate this afternoon from 6 to 9 which will scatter the fish. The water temperature is good over entire river.

Here's wishing you all a happy thanksgiving.🦃.

Things haven't changed much on the river, except the leaves. They ere really colorful this year. The water temp is 58 degreese over the entire river because they have been generating a little each day. However, because of the generation, the one stocking we had has really been scattered over the river. It's really slow fishing, hopefully we will get a few more fish before thanksgiving!!🙏🙏. If I see a stocking truck I'll let you know 

They are still working on the dam, maybe that's why in the evening they are running just one generator or maybe it's because the lake is soooo low.

Have a happy turkey day

Caught a couple at River Ridge, but had better luck at Hinds bluff caught around 15 between the two days, the fish seemed to be more concentrated down river about halfway between parking lot and bend in the river, near the single rock protruding out of the water. From 2 to 3:30 there was hatch going with fish being very active. Fish ranged from 7 to 10 inches

They haven't generated in 4 days now so the trout are still running in a pack, find the pack and catch fish, if not, it's really slow fishing. There weren't many fish stocked, but be thankful for what we got!!  No fish were stocked at Low Water bridge or at Old Factory site. Some of the ones we got are nice 13 inch dark colored fish, ones Jeff use to call Eagle Lake trout. Millissa use to tell we what she sent but she's retired, think she would say these were Erwin Arlee or Shasta trout, maybe Fish Lake?

The water temperature at the park is 62 degrees, at RiverRidge it's 56 and at Hinds Bluff it's 54 degrees. I know that's weird but the water coming from the dam is not as cold as usual. Sure it has to do with the lake turning over and the low water level.  Water clarity is good. The bottom is fair clean past River Ridge but still really nasty from the park thru Sycamore Run. It was 36 degrees air temperature on the river this morning, that helps the downstream water temps a bunch.

As soon as they run a little water the few fish we have will get scattered, then the fishing will get really tough!!  Remember, if you will take out just one more piece of trash than you bring in, we will never have a trashy river.

Great news indeed, thanks Mike

Thanks! Good to hear.

Thanks Mike!

Fish were stocked on the lower Lil' Mo' today. I know they were stocked at Hinds Bluff and River Ridge.  Thank you Jesus!!!  Was not sure we would get fish this year with everything going on in Arkansas. Will fish here tomorrow for first time in almost 2 months and let you know more about the stocking then.
