General Outlook: Things are starting to look up. Water levels are dropping and some warmer weather is headed our way. This should be a good week….

Bugs / Fly Patterns: Not many bugs / 20 incher stones, double bead stones, rubber legs, princes, glo bugs, San Juans, beadhead whatevers, streamers

Lower Clark Fork River Report: On a steady drop. The warm weather this week should get some fish and bugs going.
Bugs / Fly Patterns: March browns, grey drakes, skwalas, bwos / Rogue Skwalas, Silveys little olive, Fat Franks, 20 incher stones, double bead stones, rubber legs, princes, glo bugs, San Juans, beadhead whatevers, coffee minnows, urchin buggers, general streamers.

Flathead River Report: On the drop. Had a report of decent fishing a few days ago but nothing special. A few fish eating midges in the afternoon but mostly nymphing. It should fish decent this week with the warmer weather if we don’t see another spike in flows.
