[b]REPORTS: Clouds good, sun bad! That's it in a nutshell today. If you have clouds above you, the fishing should be VERY good. When the sun peeks out or remains out, it'll be tough. There have been EPIC hatches on The Clark Fork lately, and these hatches have been producing some amazing fishing. The dryfly action has been from right out of the chute in the mornings up until it's time to get off the river in the evenings. By and large, the fish are looking for smaller mayfly patterns and will pay little attention to the standy stonefly/dropper rigs. Towards evening, it's caddis, caddis, caddis. Today might be the best day to go for the next few since the bright sun will take over starting tomorrow. Be aware it'll be windy today, so the lower floats will once again be your best chance to avoid the worst of it. The upper river from above Milltown is still an algae mess.
HATCHES: Caddis, march browns (still), green drakes, giant golden stones, salmonflies, PMDs.
FLIES: Tan or yellow buggers. Large prince nymphs and bright red San Juan worms, Rogue stones (orange and gold), button emerger green drakes, drake cripples, extended body drakes, elk hairs and Goddards in a #12, smaller parachute Adams (like a 16 or 18).
