Clark Fork Fishing Report - 8/12
**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 fishing well with the cooler weather we have been having. Cloud cover always helps out fishing on The Clark Fork. Water temps are back down in the safe zone for morning fishing. Not a lot of tricos, few PMDs, and still eating nocturnal stones early in the morning. Hoppers and other terrestrials (THE ANT) are the main bugs on the menu. For the morning, use a tiltwing PMD, GT trico, trico spinner, film critic PMD, or D&D cripple worked well on the risers. For the mid-morning, use a hopper-dropper rig, along with ants and beatles. Sunken spinners, green machines, and sunken ants worked well for the snotty risers. Sparkle minnows, kreelex minnows, buggers, T&A leeches, and Big Horn buggers are worth a shot too.
