Closing out the weekend with sunny skies and low 60’s today. Traffic on the river was moderate yesterday and, as has been the case lately, reports have been a mixed bag but it sounds like those in the know have been doing well both on top and sub surface while those working on getting it figured out are experiencing some challenging days.
Stop by the shop and we’d be happy to help you get your game dialed in. We’ll get you set up with the right bugs and help you out with rigging and give you some ideas on where to go. Sometimes this is all it takes but if you really want to get it figured out the best way to do it is to hire a WCA guide for a day.
New to the MO? Let us show you what this amazing river has to offer. We’ll spend time showing you our preferred techniques for nymphing and dry fly fishing and streamer fishing as well if that’s of interest to you. Want to work on your casting and mending? We can help. Presentation is EVERYTHING on the Missouri. Whether fishing tiny dries or nymphing, presentation is critical. Drag free drifts are a must so if you’re willing to put in the time we will teach you everything you need to know to make it happen.
Some aren’t overly concerned about technique and just want to catch a bunch of fish – we can certainly work towards that goal as well. Some are dialed in but just need someone to row them down the river. We will tailor your trip to whatever you desire – regardless of your skill level. And the best part? Now through the end of April you can do it for just $300 for a full day – a fraction of the cost of our regular season rates.
Give us a call today and book your spring special guide trip along with discounted lodging through the end of April- you can’t afford to pass this up.

The week ahead looks good weather wise with 50’s and a good chance of rain on Monday and cloudy skies Tuesday. Sunny and warmer towards the end of the week – back near 70 on Friday. Lodging will be busy from here on out so it’s definitely a good idea to book early rather than waiting until the last minute.
