Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 10/30
Of all our local rivers, (the Missouri not included) the Clark Fork is the one most-effected by the wind, which we have seen a lot of lately. The lower Clark Fork was a nightmare just a few days ago with the wind. That being said, the fishing is pretty good, so if you…

Bitterroot Fishing Report – 10/25
No more quotes from Hecuba. You’ll have to wait until next year. The Bitterroot has spiked pretty good from the rain, so we’ll see what it does to the fishing today. Aside from that, the fishing has been good on the Bitterroot, from drys to nymphs to streamers. For dry flies, use parachute…
