About Clark Fork
Clark Fork cuts through Montana, United States and offers classic river 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 Clark Fork — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
