Mandatory Drought Closure – 2 PM to Midnight

The lower river is getting warm.  For the past week now, the water has been hitting 73 to 74 degrees. Even the morning fishing is slowing down on  lower sections of the Clark. You can still have some decent fishing from daybreak until the heat begins to beat you with your own diaper. Cripples, comparaduns, parachutes and believe it or not . . size 12 or 14 royal Wulffs on pods of selective trico sippers!

1/2 OFF Fridays.  50% Off your 1st dozen nymphs and dries!  Every Friday – Every Week

 

HATCHES: golden stones,  PMDs, caddis, spruce moths, hoppers, tricos

 

FLIES: Para Adams, cripples, comparaduns, standard stonefly attractors. Skating any kind of caddis in a 10 or 12 during the evening hatch will provide some fishy amusement.

 

Other Info: Buy a bottle of Kingfisher brand fly floatant and we’ll refill it for you for 1 measly dollar all year long!
