Clark Fork

Clark Fork River is fishable above and below its confluence with the Bitterroot and Blackfoot Rivers. Upstream the river is smaller, swifter and is a great option during the Salmon Fly hatch. Downstream of the Bitterroot, the water is big and wide. This water contains long, slow rip rap banks and endless riffles that drop off into deep holes. The first major hatch in the spring is the Sqwala Stone Fly coupled with the Gray Drake. Rainbows, Browns, and Cutthroats pod up tight to the bank eagerly sipping both species from the surface.
Entering into summer PMDs, Mahogany Duns, Baetis, Caddis, Tricos, and Hoppers complete the Clark Fork menu.
