Expect plenty of sunshine out there this weekend and not much in the way of cloud cover. Temperatures in the high 50’s and low 60’s make it feel more like early October than the 5th of November and it sounds like we’re going to continue to see above average temps at least through the middle of the month.

We’re all anxious for cold, cloudy days but in the mean time we’re making the best of it and enjoying the mild weather while it lasts.

Nymphing will be your best bet on these sunny days but don’t count out the dry fly fishing. There are definitely opportunities if you know where to look and if you don’t know where to look we’re happy to get you headed in the right direction. It’s not exactly prime streamer weather either but fish eat streamers on sunny days too. You just need to know where to go and where to throw and we’re happy to tell you.

Status quo on the nymph selections. SOW BUGS, SOW BUGS and SOW BUGS. You’ll also do fine with Little Green Machines, Juju Baetis, BWO Magic Flies, Purple or Pink Lightning Bugs, Rainbow Warriors, Rainbow Czechs and a host of other mayfly, scud and sow patterns. We haven’t had a ton of action on the firebeads but it won’t be long.

It’s been another week of great fishing on the Missouri with very little traffic. You should be here. If late starts, frequent hook-ups and little to no traffic sound good you’ve got at least another week or two to experience the best fishing of the fall season on the Missouri. Couple that with $99 winter lodging rates and you’ve got the perfect late fall getaway before the holiday rush begins.

And speaking of that holiday rush….we are loaded up with all kinds of great gift ideas for the fly fishers on your list. Winter wear from SIMMS, WCA Growlers and flasks from Stanley and Hydroflask, ready to fish Redington Path combos, WCA logo gear, Fishpond packs a plenty and much more. Not sure what to get? Wolf Creek Angler gift cards in any amount can be used to purchase absolutely anything we sell. Guide trips, lodging, flies, shuttles…anything and everything we sell.

Look for a huge holiday rod and reel sale coming soon. We’ll be putting together some great combo deals from Loop, Echo, Redington, St Croix, Ross and Nautilus.

Plenty of lodging available for the coming week and guides at the ready. Call and book today to get in on some of the best fishing we’ve seen all season.
