Coming Soon…..midge fishing on the MO
Saturday was the busiest day we’ve seen on the MO this year….by far. Mild temps and reports of fair fishing are beckoning and there are plenty of people heeding the call.
We saw a bunch of our regulars from Helena and Great Falls in the shop this weekend but the Bozeman, Flathead and Missoula folks were also out in force, a trend we will continue to see as long as things stay mild. Cabin Fever has taken hold in many parts of the state and there’s no cure like a day on the Missouri.
Solid reports from Friday from both the nymphing and the streamer set, not quite as spectacular on Saturday but still worth the while. Less traffic yesterday but still busy for January.
The traffic was definitely concentrated between the dam and Craig on Saturday. The parking lot at the Craig ramp was as full as it’s been since fall. We spent a good part of our day running shuttles and at one point counted 17 rigs in the Craig parking lot. Lots of drift boats and many a wade angler out there….you could almost call it crowded, at least by winter standards.
It was nice to see so many people around and it’s a great shot in the arm for us during these LEAN days of winter. The forecast is calling for continued mild temps and little or no precipitation this week so we expect there will be some folks around. We’ve got lodging available for $99/night and $400 guide trips all winter long and we’d love to see you out here. We’re definitely hoping for another shot or two of winter but you may as well come take advantage of our January spring while it lasts.
