The Clark Fork is still pretty high and dirty, but is still fishing pretty well. This latest cold spell has dropped the water temps substantially. This will slow down the hatches quite a bit. Your best bet will be going during the heat of the day. For skwalas try a flush floater, double dutch bug, half-down, or a rogue stone. For mayfly patterns try rocky mtn mints, purple haze, March browns, foam-back emergers, smoke jumpers, and film critic cripples. Streamer fishing has been gooooood, better on cloudy days. Try a skiddish smolt, meat whistle, or a lil’ kim.

HATCHES: baetis, skwalas, march browns

Other Info: The Kingfisher is the largest dealer of Simms Fishing Products in the Rocky Mountains.
