After super high water (10,000 CFS) the river is on it's way back

down. The good thing about flood stage water is it really cleans a

river and stirs up food for a while for the fish to go CRAZY on.

Water levels are still running around 1000 cfs which is a little

tough wading in some places but good fishing.

Fished Friday (May 19th) with a group from Feather Craft fly shop in

St. Louis....slayed the fish.

Between 5 of us we caught well over 60 fish, no huge size to any of

them but a good average size of maybe 12-13" with several 16-17"

fish thrown in the mix. A lot of different flies were working and

will work for a while or until the water clears up again.

Flash-Back Pheasant Tails were without a doubt the #1 fly, but

everything from Czech Nymphs to Mohair leeches was catching fish.

Fishing will be good for a while!!
