The upper Clark Fork has been fishing pretty decent in the cooler temps, but the back channels on the lower end are decent options too.  The spring seeps that dump into the lower river can give you some pretty good action this time of year.  Expect tandem nymph rigs to fish the best.  Micro stones, Pat’s rubber legs, Montana princes, pheasant tails, blood midges, and lightning bugs should all be good bets.  The warmer weather is just around the corner and the dry fly fishing should be right along with it.  The flow above town is running at 2180 cfs and slowly dropping.

 

HATCHES: midges, ice,

FLIES: Pheasant Tails, Prince nymphs, golden stones/nymphs, streamers.

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