10/10/16 report

Past week conditions have been a lot wetter and cooler. Some river’s have slowed a bit due to water temps (Blackfoot) and some have suffered a little due to clarity (Clark Fork). You can still catch fish but the window and bug activity have diminished some. The Bitterroot seems to be the most consistent of the three. Daily hatches of smaller BWO’s (16-18) and Mahoganies (12-14) are the ticket. Much more prevalent in the rain are the bugs. You may find one pod that wants the Blue wing the next wants the Mahogany. So be prepared to switch.
On the clark fork the Blue Wings seem to be the best bet, but…searching with a chubby and a dropper can still be productive. the big dry has a better chance than a bobber (indicator) of catching a fish. And will pick up a couple in that UV pink color. The Clinton down to Blackfoot confluence seems to be pumping some mud still for some reason, so check before you commit to that stuff.
Stay warm out there. Wader and layer.

It doesn't surprise me that Doug has great reviews I was his roommate @ LSU for 2 years, he was always fun to be around and one you could count on. He has had a passion for the outdoors so I'm glad to see he has found his calling! All the Best Doug

Doug and the team at Clear Creek really took good care of my son and myself on recent trip to the Blackfoot. It was was a great day....the beauty, the fun, the fellowship and the laughter. My 9 year old son caught his first rainbow on a fly and he was over the moon about it. Great day, great folks. Makes loving Montana even easier. Tight lines!!! Highly recommend!!! Will be back.

Fishing trip for 3 days We had 3 great days of float fishing on the Blackfoot, Clark Fork and the west fork of the Bitterroot. Doug Jones and his guides do a great job on the float providing a friendly and welcome atmosphere. Doug is a very experienced guide and knows how to put you on the fish regardless of your experience level.
