Clark Fork River Fishing Report + Rating
1/5
January 21, 2025
Winter is here on the Clark Fork. Nights now in town dropping well below freezing, and into the negatives some nights. Lots of the fishing around town, and upstream towards the Blackfoot, has or started to lock up with ice. There will certainly be good times to fish the Clark Fork this off-season– right now is not one of them. Bundle up and hit the vise!
If you’re willing to brave it, afternoon nymphing has been the way to go and if you find the right seam, inside bend or drop off the fish can be stacked in there. Work the water from closer to you out and work each spot hard. You will be rewarded for it! TJ Hookers, Rubberlegs, Front St. Stones, Jig Princes, Jig PT’s and Perdigon’s will be all you need.
1/2 off Friday’s are still happening, every Friday all year long. (1/2 off your first dozen dries or nymphs)
