timsfly Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 The spring appears to have stopped spewing mud out, and the river has cleared up almost overnight. I fished last night for about an hour, and caught 7 trout, 5 on a griffiths gnat and 2 on a small adams. Now below the falls there is still a lot of water. You still need to add extra weight, if you are nymph fishing, but when the spring clears like it has the flow will drop a lot in the following days and return to normal. So in the next few weeks the the dry fly fishing should just get better and better, if we don't get hammered this week by rain Tim Homesley 23387 st. hwy 112 Cassville, Mo 65625 Roaring River State park Tim's Fly Shop www.missouritrout.com/timsflyshop

timsfly Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 I fished up near the hatchery, the water is a bit slower up there rignt now, and it is stacked with nice fish. We have some good hatches in the zone 1 area, I see lots of midge and blue wing olive hatches in the upper end. There are caddis hatches up there also, they seem to be heaiver in zone 2. The trico hatch is better in zone 2 also, but the B.W.0.'s are good in both zone 1 and 2.
