Clark Fork River Fishing Report + Rating

2/5

April 15, 2024

The Clarkfork came way up over the weekend and got muddy.  East of Rock Creek is still an option for now, but getting muddy.

Skwala’s are just getting going on the Clarkfork in spots.  BWO’s and March Brown’s are coming off in the afternoons and fish are looking up.  Make sure to have an assortment of bugs in your box from Water Walkers, Rogue Stones to Brindle Chutes and Extended Body BWO’s.  Throw a Rubberlegs, 20 Incher, Perdigon, Jig PT or Jig Prince off the back of your Skwala to double up your chances.

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.
