For me, the jury is out on this new TU TV show, but in this episode, my favorite outfitter is fishing with Host Frank Smethurst. Check it out.
One of our clients saw it and emailed, “Hey Jack, I saw you this morning on Trout Unlimited TV fishing the Clark Fork. In early July and I will try to fish a day or two with you. The Clark Fork looked like a lot of fun. Hope all is well.”

Beyond the breach: A guide to Milltown down
The Milltown dam is officially history this fall as the last of the spillway is removed. But how has the river fared during this massive construction project? At the Clark Fork Coalition, we’re dedicated to bringing you the facts about what’s going on at the former Milltown Dam site as well as downstream throughout the Clark Fork basin. We’ve started a new online resource page for the public to use, summarizing data from the breach and beyond on fisheries, water quality, groundwater levels, and sediment in the river. The pages are under construction, and we’ll update as new information becomes available.
For a full presentation of the impacts and benefits of the breach, plan to attend the upcoming public meeting on the Milltown cleanup on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Bonner. EPA, state, and local officials will be on the bluff south of the Clark Fork overlooking the project starting at 4:00 PM to answer questions and point out the work to-date. At 6:30 PM, the meeting will reconvene in the Bonner Elementary School gymnasium.
