I just spent 3 days on the Missouri River near Cascade and the water is very low, less than half what it should be. The river is controlled by a series of dams but there is a reason they are not releasing more water. The weed beds are growing thick and there were many places we scrapped the barnacles off the bottom of the drift boat. By the way, I did catch some nice fish but not as many as usual.

The Clark Fork River is running at 65% of normal. I will be fishing it in a couple of weeks. The water looks good and there is still enough to handle the heat.
