Conditions : Clarkfork River: The best fishing on every river is happening between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m because its been cold in the mornings. Try a tiny blue wing olive or just a small adams when you see rising fish. The mornings will give up just a few fish, but you might have to nymph to see any real success. Going underneath with basic bead head nymph patterns or the worm will produce some fish. Streamers like olive buggers, JJ Specials, and olive sculpins are your best option, and are catching a ton of fish.

Hatches: BWO, Mahogonies

Fly Patterns:Stonefly nymphs like rubberlegs and double-bead stones, big princes, san juan worms, copper johns, pheasant tails, buggers, yuk bugs, sculpins, JJ specials, Foam Hoppers

About: - The Clark Fork River flows through Montana and Idaho, and is approximately 360 mi (579 km) long. In its upper 20 mi (32 km) in Montana near Butte, it is known as Silver Bow Creek. Interstate 90 follows much of the upper course of the river from Butte to northwest of Missoula. By volume it is the largest river in Montana. It drains an extensive region of the Rocky Mountains in western Montana and northern Idaho into the Columbia River, flowing northwest through a long mountain valley and emptying into Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho. The Pend Oreille River, which drains the lake to the Columbia, is sometimes included as part of the Clark Fork, giving it a total length of 479 mi (771 km), with a drainage area of 25,820 sq mi (66,870 km²).
