The Clark Fork flows have leveled off and the fishing has been pretty day-to-day. Not the most consistent option, but on the right day, its been good. Nymphing and streamer fishing has still been the most productive methods, but the dry fly fishing is starting to ramp up. The Upper Clark is right on the cusp of being great option. Streamers, skwala dries and nymphs being the go to set ups. The Lower Clark is still pretty big and dirty, but on the right day can still produce a bunch of fish. Your best bet will be going during the heat of the day. For skwalas try a flush floater, double dutch bug, half-down, or a rogue stone. For mayfly patterns try rocky mtn mints, purple haze, March browns, foam-back emergers, smoke jumpers, and film critic cripples. Streamer fishing has been gooooood, better on cloudy days. Try a skiddish smolt, meat whistle, or a lil' kim.
