The Clark Fork has a sun problem. It also has a heat problem. So, naturally, it hasn’t been fishing as well as we would hope for the last few days. It’s still worth your time, but some clouds and cooler weather would be a welcome sight. Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs 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.
