THE
CLARK
FORK

by Dillon Given

I

t seems like the Clark Fork is our little hidden gem
here in the Panhandle. Which is pretty funny if you

think about it. The enormous river that runs right along
the road is our hidden river that no one fishes... really?!
If you are driving along the river in the evening, you can
literally see large trout rising to caddis. Sounds great
right? Well, there are a few catches when it comes to
fishing the Clark Fork that don’t meet the eye.
