Conditions
Dependable summer trout fishing on the North Fork Clearwater with water temperatures holding around 67°F and flows stable at 715 cfs as of August 26. Fish are concentrating around riffle transitions, current seams, pocket water, and shaded structure. Consider nymphing low and slow during the warmest midday window with a Chubby Chernobyl or lightly weighted nymph, focusing on pocket water and transitions. General terrestrial and caddis activity should keep things interesting.
