The lower end of the Clark Fork has been fishing quite well the last few days, that is, if you’re not afraid of the infamous pikeminnow. Trek through the “rough,” and you’ll be rewarded with some fat rainbows. 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.

 

Weekend Fishing Tunes: Miles Davis, Kind of Blue

This is probably an unexpected throw-back, but it’s the best jazz album in history, so it’s worth a listen.
