The River is flowing at 2,600 CFS and very very clear. Between the low flow and clarity you are able to see structure that is not visable during the summer . It helps explain why the fish hold in some spots and not others. Quite a learning experience to just float and study the river bottom and structure. But,,,the fishing. The bigger trout are taking BWOs and Midges in the back eddys. A good call is to trail a griffis nat behind that skwala. Several small dark perdigons bounced off the bottom will get you a twenty fish day right now . We have four or five weeks before that snow pack decides to melt out as runoff.
Clark Fork River Report April 3 2023
The River is quite cool at 40 degrees but we are seeing a lot of Skwalas. We did have a train wreck down by quinns but not any damage to the river. Look to fish BWOs in the mid day in holding water.
Clark Fork River Report. March 30th 2023
The Clark Fork Slo Way to Regis fished best about 3pm on Nymphs. We did find a few fish on top Skwalas but most were coming off the bottom. Water temps at 40s are keeping most still holed up.
St.Regis River, Sept. 10, 22
The St. Regis river is fishing well lower down as the Brown’s are starting to show up. Fishing higher should still see results for Rainbows and Cutts on smaller attractors such as Royal Wulffs or red Madam X.

Great news, Hoot Owl is off! With smoke haze and lower temps the river has cooled off. The fish are not waking up early so plan on a lazy 9am start. The top water action is still good with hoppers and attractors. Warning! With the water levels in the river lower than we have seen in years there are many rocks exposed! Watch for them in places you are not use to!

Good news, Hoot Owl is off! With the smoke haze and lower temps the river is cooling quickly. The fish are not waking up early so plan on a lazy 9 am start. Still a lot of action on top with hoppers and smaller attractors. Warning! Watch for rocks in the river with the water levels lower than we have seen in many years many rocks exposed.
