The standard approach for the Clark Fork during these hot times is the chubby/rubby setup (hopper/dropper for the non-locals). In the mornings and evenings you can find pods sipping on tiny mayflies, so give that a go for a chance at some larger fish. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the evening, tricos, PMDs and PEDs, 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.
