Clark Fork River Fishing Report 5/5

Clark Fork River Fishing Report 5/5

The Cark Fork is flowing high and brown right now. The water from Rock Creek and the BlackFoot along with all the farm field tributaries has darkened everything in and below town. If you can get up into the higher sections though, there's still plenty of fishing to be had. Trout can see even in the muddiest conditions (albeit, not very well) and will usually just push closer into shore and hold tightly in the pocket water. 

With the warmer days there's still plenty of caddis and stoneflies flying around, and a combination of either when presented well can trick a trout into eating. We recomend a combination of Elk Haired caddis, Corn Fed Caddis, and Water Walkers in purple/royal.

There are plenty of large stoneflies crawling around on the bottom of the river. With warmer temperatures, the fish will chase them closer to the bank as they crawl to the surface. We recomend large Pat's Rubber Legs, TJ hookers, or a D Rib Stonefly.

Feel like throwing something with a little more weight? There's plenty of juvenille whitefish being pushed down river by the higher flows. We reccomend throwing Goldies or Kill Whiteys. Feel Like swinging through some of the more turbid water? Try large sized Sculpzillas!
