Mo Report: 2.20.2015

It looks like winter is coming back just in time for the weekend. It’s probably my fault. I’ve got the weekend off for a change.  Worked all week.

Got some glowing reports from anglers who were out fishing during this past week and not just from the Missouri. Our local freestone streams have been open and flowing. The Smith, Belt and the Sun have all been fishable. Buggers, buggers, buggers. Mostly small buggers. Maybe a Pat’s Rubber leg or two.

Present conditions are great-40s, overcast, light wind. These are my favorite conditions for this time of year. If you want to know when not to fish, just come in and check my work schedule. I’d definitely like to be fishing today.

Since winter is coming back, the weekend outlook calls for the Missouri River Fly Fishers Banquet on Saturday night. Maybe some couch time and a good movie on Sunday. Maybe a few hours of cold weather fishing. Maybe-
