Of all the watersheds around Missoula, perhaps the least known fishery is the Upper Clark Fork River. Join the Clark Fork Coalition on April 21st for an introduction to the opportunities for fishing, floating, and exploring little used waters within an hour and a half from Missoula. Hear from CFC’s own Will McDowell and Alex Leone about how to access the main stem of the Clark Fork and tributaries with great fisheries, scenery, and solitude. Learn why the Upper Clark Fork is considered the “sleeping giant of fisheries”, why the fish grow so big (spoiler alert: it has to do with a healthy bug population), and how CFC and partners are helping bring back this crucial waterway.
Come learn more about this amazing fishery on Thursday, April 21st at 5:15pm at the Clark Fork Coalition office (140 S. 4th St W). As usual, this event is free and open to all. We’ll also have beer, snacks, and information about volunteering throughout the watershed on hand!
The April 21st event is part of the Coalition’s monthly “Water Walks and Talks” learning series, which keeps citizens informed about hot topics and recent developments in the Clark Fork River watershed.
