The upper Clark Fork has leveled out, but the lower, being the local catch-all, is still seeing the tail end of the rise. Don’t let it deter you too much, though. 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 and in deeper holes.
