Summer fishing on the Clark Fork can be tough, as it has been recently. It’s also climbing in temps, as can be seen by the occasional perished sucker at the tail-out of a long run. Tricos are out and about for those of you technically inclined folks. For dries, use elk hair and Goddard caddis’ in the evening, tricos, 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.
