This time of year, if it looks like it might be a partly cloudy day, the Clark Fork is where you want to be. It’s fishing very well in general, but a little cloud cover can turn a good day to an awesome one in a flash. Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs (PRINCE NYMPHS) are working really well, along with PMDs, caddis, and yellow sallies when the occasion calls. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the evening, attractor patterns, golden rogues, chubby chernobyls 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.
