Whitewater kayak fishing on the Alberton Gorge

On March 12 we kayaked the Alberton Gorge on the Clark Fork River, which is about 40 miles west of Missoula, stopping for some fishing on the way.  I caught and released a couple of nice rainbows.

Fang Rapid.  The eponymous fang can be seen on top of the cliff above the rapid on River Left (the right side of the picture).

Beautiful area, would love to spend some time exploring that part of the US. Only parts of Montana I've been to are around Red Lodge. I need to spend a spring and summer fishing there.

Nice report. No snow now??

We've had week after week of above-freezing weather.  The ice is breaking up on lakes, and the backcountry skiing sucks unless you get really high. This weekend I put away my ice fishing gear, assembled my kayak fishing gear, and went kayak fishing on Flathead Lake.
