I want to apologize if anyone feels like I misled them with my “obscene catching” comment. I’m sorry if you came fishing because of my comment and didn’t experience obscene catching! I can only report the way things have been, and not predict what tomorrow will bring. There are too many variables: has the barometric pressure changed, is it sunny or overcast, is there a ripple on the water, was there a full moon last nite, has the temperature changed, when and how long did they last generate, water clarity, is there a hatch happening, how is your rod rigged, what tippet do you use, how’s your presentation, are you stripping or drifting, how deep are you fishing, are you in the right place at the right time of day, what size, color, shape and type fly are you using, etc,etc, and last but not least, how are you holding your mouth?😱. I promise you this, I will endeavor never again to give any indication of how good or bad the fishing will be on the Little Mo. You will just have to be surprised.
Was a nice Memorial Day week end. God bless and thank you for our men and women in uniform and our veterans. Lots of people out taking advantage of the great weather. Even though we went 5 days with no generation, thanks to the low 50’s temperatures at night, the river water stayed in the 60 to 65 degree range all up and down the river.
I texted Ryan, our assigned trout biologist for this river, and asked him about the 1000 fish we were to receive in May. Can’t ask Melissa at Spring River since she retired. 😥😥. Ryan advised that on May 9th they stocked 530 fish at Riverside and 530 fish at River Ridge. I missed that. Sorry I couldn’t tell, but guess that’s why I was able to report in the past that I was still catching a lot of fish at River Ridge 🤔🤔.
There are lots of fish in the summer catch and release area from the dam to the pipeline. It seems I have to advise someone every day that it is a catch and release area. 🤬🤬😡. Speak up and at least let them know when you see people using bait and keeping fish.
Looks like a good generation schedule for this week if you like early morning fishing. Can’t say how you might do, but know you can have fun doing it!!! Remember, if you’ll take out one more piece of trash than…….you know the thing!!🤣🤣🐠🐠🐠.
