The Mighty Mo is flowing at 2840 C.F.S. The Tricos are out in full force and the fishing has been very good. Trico activity has been the best near the town of Craig. The river is busy right now so don't expect to be there by yourself. The hopper fishing later in the day is also producing some good results for anglers that are willing to fish them. Try trailing a small dropper off the back of your hopper patterns. There is also some good caddis activity just prior to dark. The moss is starting to cause some problems if you go below the surface with nymphs or streamers. Dry flies have been king and if you are fishing tricos give some of the sunken patterns a try off the back of a more visible dry fly.
Fly Pattern Suggestions: Hi Vis Caddis #14-16, Bloom's Parachute Caddis #14-16, Hen Wing Caddis #14-16, Trico Thorax #18-22, Trico Spinner #18-22, BH Trico Spinner #18-20, Parachute Pheasant Tail #16-18, Molly Hopper #6-8, Parachute Hopper #6-8, BH Mangy Caddis #14-16, BH Lightining Bug #16-18.
