Clarkfork River Report – 4/5


roguecutty-long

REPORTS:
Like all the area rivers, the Clark is on the rise top to bottom with the exception of the uppermost river ~ it’s a shot anyway.  We had been having pretty decent fishing with over-sized dries on the lower river during the first two days of bump, but at this point, there’s just been too much of an increase for any kind of consistency.  As all the other rivers dump their excess water into this river, you can count on the Clark being the last to come back into shape.

HATCHES: Skwalas, March browns, caddis, baetis, nemouras.

FLIES: Big button emergers or parachute patterns for the March browns, standard skwala junk with 18″ droppers. Big prince nymphs, Peacock double beads, Griffith’s gnats and zebra midges on sunny days, slow moving crystal buggers or bunny junk in #8s that’re black, olive or rust, double dutch skwala, size 18 adams or purple haze

Other Info: You will NEVER be oversold at The Kingfisher.
