Hoot Owl restrictions are no longer in effect for the Clark Fork river.
This week could the the turning point for the Clark Fork. With restrictions lifted and consistent cloud cover in the forecast, this river is definitely one to consider. The tricos are still going great guns in the morning with the spinner fall starting around 10. Hopper/attractor (terestrials in general . .bees, spruce moths, etc) dropper rigs midday have been working well and will only work better in the clouds. Look for the fish to be WAY more willing to come to the surface with the lack of bright sunlight. Looks like fairly calm conditions today as well. Good stuff. If you stay out until evening, caddis are still motivating the fatties although we’re getting lots of fish using size 16 or 18 red humpies or royal Wulffs during the hatch. Look for mayfly stuff like purple hazes and comparaduns in 14s to work in the clouds too. The high water temp in Superior last night was 67.
