The water
Clark Fork (above Missoula) is a freestone river in Big Sky, Montana, fished for trout, whitefish — rainbow, brown, cutthroat, bull, brook. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
