Missouri River Spring Season

A short video shot and edited last year by Scumliner. The Missouri River Spring Season is upon us and we are so excited to kick off a new year. The Midges have arrived which is enough to get our heart rate up.

Next is the Blue Winged Olive emergence…keep it tuned here for that Missouri River spring hatch event.

All dry fly action from some of the Headhunters staffers. Both shop and guide staff participated in this dry fly bonanza. The Missouri River Spring Season is upon us!

Ed Note: It’s happening right now and getting better. Dry fly fishing is why most come to the  Missouri River. In the spring though? Yes, the spring midge hatch is pretty special. Its good now…it’ll be incredible in a few weeks.

We really believe we are ahead of the curve this year and the midge fishing is already fantastic. Not everyday, but often enough to keep our interest level high.

Look for overcast days with light winds. That is the key to your dry fly fishing success. Read the daily weather reports or just give us a shout at the shop 877-DRY-FLYS for up to the minute hatch reports. We’ll give you a good idea on how the wind is treating us on the river.

Midge patterns that work well for us for the Missouri River Spring Season include Griffith’s Gnats, Cluster Midges, Matt’s Pink Wing, Renegade, Parachute Adams, Zebra Midges, WD-40′s, Newman’s Own Midge, Dominick’s Reneball, Purple Haze. Stop in to our downtown Craig fly shop for recommendations from our fishy staff. These folks actually fish the river…lots.

We love the Missouri River Spring Season…

So do the trout.
