The Clark Fork River flows for 330 miles thru Western Montana and carries the largest amount of water of any Montana River. The upper section of the Clark Fork is considered as the first 28 miles below the confluence of Silver Bow and Warm Springs Creek. There are public parking and access areas and a lot of trout. Many years ago the Clark Fork was basically lifeless due to excessive mining pollution. After a massive cleanup effort it's doing pretty well. Brown trout and cutthroats
are the main trout here.
This stream holds a special place in my heart as it signaled the beginning of my quest to improve handle designs for spin-fly rods. I had been using a flawed design method which contributed to my loosing a nice fish here. After the season was over I developed a patented solution and the rest is history.
