About Clearwater River
Clearwater River cuts through Montana, United States and offers classic stream fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Clearwater River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Cutthroat trout
When fishing streams, cast upstream and retrieve with the current to mimic natural drift, increasing your chances of hooking wary cutthroat trout.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
