The evening fishing on the Clarkfork has been particularly noteworthy with excellent caddis and mayfly hatches. The mid day fishing has been a little spotty but hopper dropper rigs, tandem nymph rigs and streamers have all been good bets. Mornings have also had great mayfly hatches but the evenings are definitely where its at right now. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, mayfly duns and criplles, PMDs and PEDs, attractor patterns, golden rogues, chubby chernobyls for the morning and afternoon. For nymphs, use Pat’s rubber legs, micro stones, prince nymphs, double beaded stones, San Juan worms, caddis pupae, Pheasant tails and batman nymphs. For streamers, use big black and olive patterns fished tight to the banks and in deeper holes.
