Clark Fork River Fishing Report + Rating

1/5

January 8, 2025

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great holiday season and received a plethora of new fly fishing gifts! Unfortunately, not the best fishing conditions to be breaking those gifts in. Winter is here on the Clark Fork. Nights now in town dropping well below freezing. That will undeniably start to freeze up some of the fishing around town, and upstream towards the Blackfoot, as well. That being said, fishing around town has been pretty good over the last couple weeks. The local honey-holes are a great option to squeeze in a half-day of wade fishing (before it starts to freeze.) 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)
