Principal hatches are caddis and baetis. Trout are literally pushing each other out of the way to take emerging caddis or crippled baetis. When the action slows down put on a size 8 stimulator or rubber-legged hopper and drop off a black or tan N. Fork Special, sizes 12 or 14 to keep bending the rod. Small dries, especially humpies or sparkle duns will take trout in theslower waters. Brookies beginning to spawn, some up to 20 inches in the deeper parts of the upper canyon called the Aquarium.
Water levels are still pretty good considering other parts of the country.
Excellent on a variety of big attractors like Hoppers, Gray Drakes, humpies, caddis, and pale evening duns. If the trout don't rise, drop off a black N. Fork Special and you will be satisfied at the end of the day. Water conditions have cleared and back to normal. Water temps, mid-50's. Large dries, dropper nymphs is the best way to fish the Clarks Fork.
