MISSOURI RIVER FISHING REPORT

CURRENT MISSOURI RIVER FISHING REPORT


April 25, 2024

Location: Missouri River

Flows: 3340 CFS

Temperature: 45+ Degrees below Holter Dam

Mayfly season has arrived. BWO’s are hatching daily. Nymphs are getting it done all day, Soft Hackles, emergers, cripples and duns are all in play during the hatch windows.  Spinner falls might get attention also. Lots of bug stages are in play.  Midges are still prolific at times and get the fish up early and late most days. A few March Browns have been spotted.  We will soon see if this hatch comes to fruition. 

Sow bugs and BWO nymphs remain staples down below, with a few folks rolling some larger Mayfly nymphs. Streamer fishing is always in play, especially on the darker days, but with low clear water and bugs, the fish are busy eating the small stuff.

The outlook is for continued great fishing with more and more post spawn rainbows adding into the mix.

OTHER REPORTS WE LIKE TO FOLLOW


Missouri River fishing reports aren't always the same. One stretch of the river may fish better than others which is why we like to check a number of different fishing reports from other shops in the area. We've gathered our favorite fishing report sources in the links below.

Missouri River Overview
The Missouri River is a year-round wild trout river that can fish exceptionally well at any time of the year. There are a few times of the year when it’s not the best choice, so we avoid going up there when conditions are not ideal. Our favorite time of year is May and June on the Missouri as there are less people around, there are no weeds in the river, and warming water temperatures keep the fish feeding all throughout the day.
