REPORTS:

Beginning in April, once a week we will post a brief description of a rig we saw during the previous week that had one of our Kingfisher stickers on the window. When you recognize it as being your car described in our hatch report, stop into the shop and pick out 2 dozen nymphs or dries on us!!

The Clark Fork is running at 6700 cfs and very off color today.  The Cooler weather is catching up and the river is starting to turn the corner, but fishing up here will be a tough duty for the next day or two.  If you can’t help yourself, bring a jacket some nymphs and a fist full of streamers and start looking for back channels and soft water along the banks.  The upper section would be a better option, but still off color.  For streamers on the upper or lower river. Toss on a JJ’s special, olive or tan super buggers, sculpzillas, standard buggers or dark heavy articulated patterns.  The nymphs on the menu for today are pheasant tails, black bodied stone flies, pat’s rubber legs, San Juan Worms, micro stones and little black micro stone.

If you own and iPad 1 or 2, we have 6 MFC original iPad covers to give away. The first people through the door get’em!!! If you come in with a kingfisher tattoo on your forehead you can have two!!!

Browns Lake is iced off, open and fishing well. However, the private land owners surrounding Browns Lake are now enforcing there NO trespass rights. All the bank fishing with the exception of the public land at the south and east sides of the lake is now closed to walking. We have provided a map showing the property lines and places to legally access the lake. The boundaries highlighted with green are open to the public.

 

HATCHES: midges, capnias

FLIES: Small prince nymphs, bacon and egg combos (San Juans in tandem with an egg patter), Griffith’s gnats and zebra midges on sunny days, slow moving or jigged rabbit streamers in front of sighted pike.

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