According to my daughter and her husband the Clark Fork has been fishing pretty well over the past few days. During the unsettled weather Saturday and Sunday they even saw some olives out on the upper river – like the golden color spotting the hills seeing olives on the river is one of the surest signs of fall in these parts.
There are still good Trico hatches, but they had their best fishing over the weekend throwing what she calls ‘skinny golden stones’; she is good friends with one of the guys at The Kingfisher Fly Shop in Missoula and that was apparently one of their tips for the week; I’d recommend the shop in a heartbeat to anyone – expert or novice, they run a very nice operation there and treat folks very, very well. There are a few shops around that don’t treat folks so well – these guys have a great sense of humor on most days too.
The weather is going to stay clear, sunny and warm this week by this morning’s forecast – we need some clouds and cool weather…..
