5th of July

Kinda a mixed bag of news. The flows have been coming down pretty quick but… The weather has cooled in the 70’s for a high the whole upcoming week. So at the least it’s comfortable again. Rain possible a couple days too.
Last week it had gotten to the point where an early start was really important. If for no other reason than to beat the crowds.
Good numbers of bugs. But the wind hasn’t helped them stay on the surface. A few lingering Salmonflies, Goldens, and plenty of Little sallies and caddis. When conditions are good not really any need of droppers.
There is a wacky algae bloom on the Clark Fork, hasn’t really broken loose yet but looks to be an issue late summer. Too many phosphates coming from up river.

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.
