When it’s not windy, the lower Clark Fork can produce some really great fishing this time of year. The upper river is also good, especially for those who prefer to wade. They’re still taking larger bugs on the surface, but are definitely interested in miniature mayflies when the time calls for it. October caddis are also flying about. Don’t overlook the streamer, either. For dries, use rusty spinners in the evening, elk hair and Goddard caddis in the evening, tricos, mayfly duns and cripples, BWOs, attractor patterns, chubby chernobyls all day. 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.
