Looks like a perfect fall Clark Fork day is on tap today! The dryfly fishing has picked up considerably in recent days with fish rising to a variety of dries and hitting streamers much more consistently. Slow moving streamers in black, olive or brown have been working for us right out of the chute…

  More nice cloud cover, cooler temps and higher humidity in the forecast for the weekend – yee haw! The Clark has been fishing well. Like most of the area rivers, the cooler nights have been moving the best of the dryfly action closer to the middle of the day. Decent nymphing and streamer fishing…

  It all works on the Blackfoot this time of year. Dries, nymphs, streamers, it’s all good. October caddis have been sighted, so get out your Big Orange. For dries use tricos, big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Orange Stimulators, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s rubber legs, princes, double…

The reports call for rain this weekend. As mentioned in the other hatch reports, BWOs should be the ticket. The colder weather might put the fish down a little bit, just as a heads-up. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, PMDs, BWOs, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis,…

  It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall up here these days. The best dryfly fishing is now firmly midday although you can still catch some fish on dries early and late. The big fall mayflies have begun to show up along with some mahoganies and October caddis. Our best bugs still haven’t changed…

  It’s fast becoming a fall menu for the Bitterroot fatties. With baetis, mahoganies and fall drakes all coming off up here right now, darker bodied mayflies ranging from size 12 cripples and button emergers to small parachute Adams/purple haze stuff in 16s to 20s are working well. We’re also seeing enough of the big…

The dry fly fishing has been a little spotty with the funky weather conditions as we make the transition into fall. Morning and evening baetis fishing has been decent but mid day has been a little slow with most anglers switching to double nymph rigs. The hoppers are still jumping when the day heats up,…

    With fall slowly approaching the fishing conditions are changing rapidly. From the lower flows (which give wade fisherman excellent access) to the cold mornings to the hot mid days, Things are a little funky. The morning baetis fishing has held strong but mid days can be a little tricky. Use a hopper dropper…
