Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: colder weather with lots more flow ; good to great

            Water in the form of rain and snow has come to the Ozarks. Lots of water!..     I expect high flows for awhile unless the corps cuts it back some due to eccessive flow in the river systems below this point. This very well could happen, so once again exact flow is anyones guess.

              The next few days I will center my guide trips on the shad coming through the dam unless they shut the water off. Then it will be back to midge patterns and possibly some caddis action.
