Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 4/25


hopper fishing - blackfoot river

 

The flow on the Clark Fork above town looks like its going to creep past 5,000cfs and below town at St.Regis it’ll probably hit 10,000cfs.  The clarity has been getting worse with the rain we’ve been getting too.  You’re probably better off finding other options.  But if I can’t talk you out of it go subsurface with some egg patterns, San Juan worms, Olive double beaded stones, Pat’s rubber legs, Micro stones, Hares ears, and prince nymphs.  Streamers could get some chases by fish sitting tight to the banks but might be hard to hit if you’re wading.  Finding some back channels or spring seeps is going to be your best bet for clarity, so keep an eye out for those.
