Little Missouri Fly Fishing

At 8:00am this morning the Corp closed the bunger completely. The lake is at 539.84. No rain showing for the next week, so should stay closed for that period, maybe 🤔??

At 10:00 am the Corp opened the bunger to what I'm gonna call minimum flow-PLUS!  It's over the 7 % they ran at all summer a few years ago, that was good. This is almost too deep to fish, uncomfortable!  I'm gonna start lobbying for 5%, I think that would be perfect for all time. Water is still very 🥶. Caught a few fish at Sycamore Run yesterday. That's encouraging.

 DANG!  THANKS.

NO!!!!!

Thanks Mike.  Do you think they will get the repairs done by September or October?

Ok at this point. Haven't been shut down long. Will see what happens when they shut down for a week or two.

Thanks Mike.  How are the temperatures holding?

At 7:30 am the Corp closed the bunger fully. The lake is at 539.93. Hope they hold there for the weekend. 🤔🥴. River is very fishable.

At 7:30 am the Corp opened the bunger fully. The river is not fishable for us fly guys. The lake is at 541.8, don't know how low they plan to go this time. At this level they can take between 1/2 and 3/4 foot per day off the lake.

The river is running a little more than the 7% minimum flow, it's hard and uncomfortable to fish. David's rock is under water when normal at 7% its sticking out of the water about 8 inches. This is the level that I feel does no one any service. It doesn't pull enough water off the lake to make a difference and it's just about un fishable.
