River Run Outfitters's Tip of the Week
Lots of rain and running two units non-stop since 10:30 Saturday. So far, running all day Sunday. Not certain what the generation schedule for Monday will be. Seems like it has been best fishing during the afternoon hours than the early morning. Special Notice, if you plan to come to Taneycomo or any cold water state managed trout stream in Missouri.....LEAVE YOUR FELT SOLE WADING BOOTS AT HOME. Missouri banned porous sole boots on March 1, 2012.

River Run Outfitters5-Day Outlook as of 4/28/24
Should have some dry weather Monday and Tuesday. After that, slight chances through Friday. Temperatues in the 70s and low 80s. With this rain, be sure to fish red or cerise San Juan worms. Patterns have been the P&P, ruby 2, black copperhead midge and #18-20 gray scuds, worm brown San Juan Worm. On a sunny day, definitely throw the Primrose & Pearl midge. Best stripping patterns the JQ streamer or a black wooly bugger. When in doubt, you can always call us for an update or keep checking the schedules and real time for generation. A link to that formation and phone numbers is available on our website.

Techniques & Tips as of 4/28/24
Nymph style fishing with midges mainly with small gray or tan scuds and sow bugs and egg patterns. Overcast day try the black copperhead midge was working. Ruby 2 is always a safe bet. Pulling streamers, JQ, tiger tail, black wooly bugger or a holographic green crackleback on a sunny day.
