Fly Fishing the Clark Fork River - Montana's Jewel

One of Montana's jewels, the Clark Fork River in Western Montana has many faces as it cuts east to west. The Clark Fork River 6 miles east of Missoula is a smaller river easily wadable, but with  limited access points. At 6 miles out it joins the Blackfoot River and becomes much larger and a float fishers paradise. 

The Clark Fork winds it's way through Missoula, where many fly fishers, make the "Urban Float" fishing through the middle of town casting to mainly rainbows with a few cutthroats and an occasional brown trout coming to their offering.
