Little Missouri Fly Fishing

Boone, I'm at a loss too on the Bisquits and Gravy.  Sounds like Mike has a secret fly in his box.  Dang, with fishing good on the lower river and Langly running about 4 ft sure miss being up there.  Thanks again Mike for keeping us in the know.  Great job.

What's biscuits and gravy?
Glad to hear a good report, hopefully we get up there next week.

It's 4:00 am Friday morning and there has been no flow on the Lil' Mo' for almost a week. 👏. They have worked on the dam all week. The lake has come up a foot to 538.34 and Albert Pike is running at about 4 feet which also is fishable. The water temperature is holding good, even down to River Ridge.

Fishing has been good, mostly in the park area, however I'm catching a few at River Ridge. There are some really nice large and strong fish in the river. Believe it or not Gordon I'm still catching fish on Biscuits and Gravy!  You would think the fish had started hitting more natural flies like sliders, long creeks, yellow soft hackles, brown flies, and midges, normal summertime flies, but they are still hitting attractor flies also.

Will be curious to see what the Corp does this weekend if the "Under Water Construction Company" doesn't work Saturday or Sunday.

Kosmo, I'm also in Tyler.  Have you heard of our fly fishing club, Lone Star Fly Fishers?

MIKE!!!  Just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing so much information on the river and its conditions!  We appreciate all you do!  I have a 3 hour drive one way to the Little Mo and with the current conditions with the racks and the corp you have saved me many hours of drive time and gas money!!  Please keep sharing with us all!!    Thanks Again,  Ken in Tyler

What are you using to catch fish???

As of 5:00 pm the bunger is closed completely. Just in time for you weekend folks Gordon!!👍👍 There is no flow on the river. Let's hope they hold it this way though the weekend!!😃😃. We have had 2 inches of rain in past couple of days so the water is very muddy but it is fishable!!  There are no workers at the dam, guess they all went home for the weekend, Tennessee or Alabama I think? 

‼️ 4 May 2025: it's Sunday morning and the bunger is still closed looks like they will hold it through the weekend. Good fishing on upper end of river. Some really nice large fish in the river. I caught several yesterday in the 15 to 17 inch size with lots of girth-strong! 

Just in time to ruin a weekend for folks.  They must get a kick out of this.

At 8:00 am this morning the Corp opened the bunger valve to an un fishable level.

At 4:00 PM today, with the lake at 537.23, the Corp closed the bunger valve completely. No flow on the Lil'Mo' at this moment. That's all I know about that.
