There has been a strange hatch on the Missourri. Nobody seems to
know what they are . they are small ( size 22-24) almost 5 sided ,
neon green , sit up on the water on mutiple legs. Must have
transparent wings as you dont see them untill they fly away. Fish
are not exactly all over them but once in awhile they get eaten.
Caught a couple fish on what I thought would be close to what they
may look emerging. Anyone have a clue?

The fishing on the MO.( Wolfcreeke to Cascade section ) has
been extremely tough since the end of July. A combination of factors
perhaps, drought and low flows probably the largest. Lot s of
pelicans and people flailing the water from too many guide
boats. It s becoming a very techinical river. Gone are the days
when you could move from pod to pod. Now you re lucky to find
rising fish and have to work them in order to catch any at all.

Mark;

Can't help you on the insect ID. I was on the Missouri (for the first
time) for 10 days on two different trips in July. If this is your home river
I envy the hell out of you. Big water; great hatches; (Tricos when I was
there); wonderful wading opportunities; and big, tough, hard charging Bows
that took us to the backing more in one hour than we experience in 5 *years
here in Maine. . If I could fish the Missouri every day of the open season
I'd die a very happy camper.

It was *tough*; technical fishing when we were there...but I loved every
minute of it. What a great river...can't wait to get back there.
