    Clark Fork Fishing Report – 3/14

      The upper Clark Fork has been fishing pretty decent in the cooler temps, but the back channels on the lower end are decent options too. The spring seeps that dump into the lower river can give you some pretty good action this time of year. Expect tandem nymph rigs to fish the best. Micro…

    REPORTS: The flow on the Clark Fork below town is right around 3150 cfs and holding steady. The Clarity is still a little off but workable.

  • Missouri River Fishing Report 3/12

    Pink is definitely the color of choice for subsurface fishing right now. Pink scuds, pink Ray Charles, pink sow bugs, and pink worms seem to be the ticket. Stick with it! We will be throwing dry flies very soon. The midge fishing should be picking up every day. If you’re desperate, the last hour of…

  • Clark Fork Fishing Report – 3/11

        With the slightly warmer weather this weekend, you shouldn’t expect much change in the fishing even with the little bit of rain.

      Skwalas!!!!  I’ve heard good reports of fish eating sporadically on top just not any naturals popping yet. The really consistent action has been taking place with tandem skwala nymph rigs and streamers. That could change any day now with the spring weather upon us. Definitely be prepared with some top water patterns. The flow…
