Clark Fork River Fishing Report + Rating

2.5/5

March 22, 2024

The Clarkfork is rising and getting muddy.  It’s still fishable west of town, but the east of town it’s dirtier.  There are BWO’s, Midges and Pneumora’s hatching.  Depending on the day you can get them on BWO’s or midges.  Skwala’s aren’t out quite yet.  Streamer fishing has been good if you slow down and get your streamers deep.  A sink tip or sinking leader is a must this time of year.  Nymphing is your best way to get into fish.  Double Bead Stones, 20 Inchers, Rubberlegs, TJ Hookers, Front St. Stones, San Juan Worms, Jig PT’s and dark Perdigons.

1/2 off Friday’s are still happening, every Friday all year long. (1/2 off your first  dozen dries or nymphs)

Montana SNOTEL Current Snow Water Equivalent % of Normal

SWE is an acronym for Snow Water Equivalent, signifying the quantity of liquid water present in snow. Essentially, if you were to take a certain snow depth and melt it, the resulting water height would be representative of the SWE. This is how we can predict river flows and water levels for fishing season.
