It’s been another wintery week on the Missouri with those April showers in the form of snow, not rain. If you look closely you can see the buds on the trees starting to take shape but for the most part it still looks and feels like winter.

The spring sun feels great when we’ve seen it and it generally makes quick work of melting the snow but we can’t seem to break away from winter precipitation and ridiculously cold temps in the forecast.

All that being said it could be worse….much worse. Spring precipitation and cold temps at night are exactly what we need to ensure a great season ahead so while we’re all anxious for sunshine, green vegetation, a steady stream of customs and warm spring days on the water we do appreciate the conditions and what they mean for the season ahead.

Looking towards next week it looks like we may just be emerging from winter’s grip, not that you haven’t heard that a time or two over the past few weeks but this time I think it might be for real.

We’ll see 50’s early next week, maybe even close to 60 on Tuesday. Unfortunately it looks like its going to blow but that’s to be expected and will come as no surprise to anyone who fishes here regularly. The better news is that overnight lows in the 30’s rather than the teens mean we may finally get the green light to open up the rest of our lodging including the newly remodeled #9 and #10.

Spring lodging and guide trip special going strong and running through the end of the month. $550 for two nights of premium lodging at WCA and a full day guide trip for one or two anglers with the best guides on the Missouri.
