Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
The Brown Sculpin and White Belly sculpin are always great streamers to use on this
river. The Missouri River has a good population of sculpins.
Various species of Blue-winged olives hatch mostly on cloudy days.
Scuds are available year-round.
It is almost alway best to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike indicator with the
midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly. Fish the adult midge
only when you observe trout feeding on the surface.
Spotted sedges, or caddisflies, are starting to hatch.
Pale Morning duns are hatching.
Tricos are hatching.
Little Sister caddisflies are hatching.
Terrestrial insects are becoming important, carpenter ants, Japanese beetles and
hoppers. The river is surrounded by hay fields with lots of hoppers.
