The Mighty Mo is flowing at 2800 C.F.S. The Mo is slowing down a bit due to less insect activity and warmer water temps. The weeds are also starting to get a little tough to deal with. Trico's are still comming off in good numbers however if the wind blows you can right the trico hatch off for the morning. The caddis activity is slowing down, however you can still run into plenty of a hatch in the evening. You will have to go looking for the fish in the evening as well as the bugs. Look for pods of consistently rising fish. Hoppers are working well in the mid day and late afternoon when the the trico fishing slows. You won't have a ton of fish crash the hoppers, however you will see some good ones come up if you hang in there and fish the hoppers hard. Water temps are starting to play a role in the fishing so keep your eye on the temps and fish the appropriate areas once the water gets warm.
