More nice cloud cover, cooler temps, and higher humidity in the forecast - yee haw! The Clark has been fishing well. Clarity has been day to day, with the recent rains. Unless the river is completely mud, it's been fishing pretty well. Like most of the area rivers, the cooler nights have been moving the best of the dry fly action closer to the middle of the day. Decent nymphing and streamer fishing can be had pretty much right when you hit the water in the morning. Black buggers with a red San Juan worm trailer about 10" off the back have been a good setup for us in the morning. You may have some trico action spot to spot, but they've been pretty inconsistent. A large mayfly pattern with a purple prince, little green machine, or similar nymph dropper has been an excellent prospecting rig until pods of feeders really get going around 1:30. Film critics or CDC mayflies in a 14 or 16 will likely get the afternoon sippers that ignore other options.
