CrossCurrents Fly Shop's Tip of the Week
Dry fly fishing should continue to be good with tricos in the morning, and terrestrials-dropper in the afternoon. Nymph fishing in shallow, riffly water and deeper pools is your best bet throughout the day. We are contending with weeds in the river but as long as you can keep your flies clean there are fish to be had.

Water Flow Data
5-Day Outlook as of 9/10/25
The weather will cool down from the mid 90s over Labor Day weekend, into more seasonal temps in the 70s and 80s over the next few weeks, with a few showers to help us transition into Fall fishing season.
Techniques & Tips as of 9/10/25
We look forward to BWOs making their return to the Mo' in the next few weeks, but for now we are still having fun fishing Tricos in the mornings, and Caddis and Terrestrials in the afternoon. The most productive technique is still nymph fishing with 5' to 7' from your indicator to your top fly, either a worm or crawdad pattern, trailed by a Caddis or Baetis nymph.
