The native trout species that swim in the waters that run through the Clark Fork are impeccable in size, pattern, fight and the grit to survive. The feeling of walking the same ground as the 49ers and the Outlaws is a feeling like no other, knowing that the trees that surround you have seen how men have carved the landscape from the miners to the fly fishermen. The Clarks Fork is really a magnificent place to run wild and let your inner child’s imagination run.
