Fishing Report

How's Fishing?

  Sorry for the late report everyone, I was out of town for a couple days.  So if you haven't noticed, the weather has been very hot this week, though the fishing has still been great. We have had several anglers in this week who have reported good fishing on the stream and on the Niangua. So what has been working? The bugs are hitting the water this week! Several anglers are floating the top with foam beetles and  dry flies such as a Renegade.  Several nice fish caught this week from 1.5 pounds all the way up to 6 pounds.  The stream is lookin really good, super clear and flowing slow. I hope everyone has a great week.
