TR: Current River (Mo.)

Made it up to the Current for a few days this week. Caught a potful
(around 20) browns and rainbows. Early morning: PMDs Later
Morning - olive/brown nymphs, ants/beetles (under trees), afternoon:
Anything Olive (BWO, Wolly Buggers, Olive Caddis), Crackle-backs,
Later: Elk-Hair Caddis (size didn't seem to matter).

Fished from Baptist Access to about 2 miles down-river.

Canoeists started in Th. Morning - already bombed and getting stuck on
every obstacle. Made fishing difficult, as I positioned myself more
to watch them tip than to fish. But damned entertaining.

Saw a boatload of wildlife. 85 degrees, sunny, perfect. Those of you
with access to other streams may scoff, but the Current is about as
good as it gets in this part of the world.

Got pictures, too, if anyone wants to see them.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The Current can hold its own with lots of rivers, IMHO. I haven't been there
in about three years, but clearly need to get back. The aluminum hatch will
dominate from this weekend through labor day, but in the spring and fall
it's hard to beat some of the southern Missouri streams. And it looks like
you spent a few days there! Neat!
