Glacier National Park never disappoints – photo by Wolf Creek Angler
Back in the shop today after a few days doing the annual fall pilgrimage to Glacier country. A great time as always but it’s nice to be back. It doesn’t sound like much has changed in my absence. Fishing has remained solid, especially on the nymphing front while the dry fly guys continue to await the arrival of the bigger baeits and the Streamer set, well, they just keep doing their thing regardless.
Look for partly cloudy skies with high temps in the low 60’s for most of the week. Beautiful October weather on the Missouri.
Water temps continue to drop and are currently in the low 50’s, right where we (and the fish) like them. Flows are holding steady near 3500 cfs. You can always find things to complain about whether it’s too much sun, too much wind, not enough water etc. but being the glass half full types that we are at WCA we’re pretty comfortable telling you that conditions are near perfect for fall fishing on the MO’.
Couple that with abundant lodging vacancies this week and guides looking to fill any days they can before the long, cold winter sets in and you’ve got yourself a perfect late October getaway.
The traffic has died down with many trading their fly rods for firearms so now is the time to come if you want solitude and great fishing with the chance for epic hatches daily.
The best fishing of the season could very well take place during these next three weeks. We hope you don’t miss it!
