The Week Ahead

Hopper Time on the Missouri photo by Wolf Creek Angler

Feeling like fall out there on this cool and damp late July Monday with temps hovering in the 50’s and a steady soaking underway. We’re thinking San Juan Worms and streamers!

A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and then clearing out and heating up for the remainder of the week with temps back in the high 80’s by week’s end.

Could be some good trico days this week but hoppers and ants have been the dry flies of choice around here as of late. Stop by and check out our terrestrial bins, you won’t find a larger selection of bugs anywhere in Wolf Creek.

What a difference a week makes! A week ago today may have been the busiest boat day of the season on the MO – today there is scarcely a soul to be seen. Empty parking lots and miles of unoccupied water. Much of the traffic has disappeared for the time being but expect the majority of what’s left to continue to congregate between the dam and Craig. Enjoy the solitude of a day in the canyon or further down.

Hoppers, Pine Squirrel Leeches, Ants, Crayfish, Zebra Midges, Split Case PMD’s, Peep Shows, Weight Flies…for what it’s worth, these are the bugs folks have been buying.

Stop by Wolf Creek Angler for all of your Missouri River fly fishing needs. Open early at 6:00 AM every day, make us your one stop on the way to the river.
