Keep em wet!

**Time to put the thermometer back in the fishing pack. Watch the afternoon water temp. We call it a day around the 70 degree mark. Keep em wet, use a net, size up in tippet, and get the fish in quickly. A few tips we recommend**

The Clark Fork has been topping out around 70-71 degrees down by Superior. Hitting the river early in the morning has been the way to go. Hopper dropper combinations through the riffles and diamond chop have been deadly. Panty droppers hoppers, more - or - less hoppers, thunder thigh hoppers, sweetgrass hoppers, and water walkers have all worked well. Dropping a prince nymph, CDC pheasant tail, MacGruber nymph, perdigons, or a purple prince will keep you busy through the mid day lull. Spruce moths have been around, but no real big numbers quite yet. PMDs and sulphurs are the main mayflies in play. Nocturnal stones are on the menu as well.
