Montana Fish Report

As of 3/13 park officials are reporting thawing conditions and soft edges near the boat ramp. Due to unsafe conditions, they will not be taking measurements unless everything freezes over again. As we enter into spring next week, ice conditions will likely continue to deteriorate. Exercise extreme caution in this late ice fishing season.

Trout are being caught in the 16″-22″ range, and perch are measuring 6″-10″.  Over the weekend of 2/15/25, the winning trout of the annual ice fishing derby exceeded 26″.

For a trout bite, try fishing approximately 4 feet below the ice in up to 15 feet of water. Worms and PowerBait are both producing catches. Some anglers prefer to add a small piece of worm to a trout jig. Perch are hitting small jigs and worms jigged just off the bottom in 20+ feet of water.
