The Clark Fork is still dropping but will take a little bit longer than our other rivers to clear up.  The bottom end is flowing a little above 10000cfs with marginal but improving clarity.  It’s getting to be standard summer fare now, with attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs working really well, along with PMDs, Golden Stones, caddis, and yellow sallies when the occasion calls. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the evening, attractor patterns, golden rogues, salmon rogues or Gould’s half downs for the morning and afternoon. 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.
