The Destination Angler Podcast

Restoration on the Clark Fork River with Andy Simon


Listen Later

Our destination is the Clark Fork of the Columbia River with expert fly-fishing guide, Andy Simon, Grizzley Hackle Fly Shop, Missoula, Montana.  Once known as the world’s largest superfund site, the Clark Fork now is one of the greatest conversation recovery stories in fly fishing, offering some of the best dry fly fishing in the West.  

 Andy gives a great overview of the best sections of the Clark Fork, the prime time of year to fish, and how to break down this big river into fishable chunks, plus top hatches including Skwalas, BWOs, Golden Stones, and hoppers.  We also touch on Rock Creek, steelhead fishing, and some remarkable client moments ranging from stressed-out bankers, arguing couples, and a client nicknamed “tail gunner”.  Bonus:  how to predict a big fish day on the drive to the river.

With host, Steve Haigh
