Montana Fish Report

For the first time in 6 years, Cave Lake is full! A total of 19,247 rainbow trout averaging 11 inches have been stocked into Cave Lake this spring.  A total of 1,000 brown trout were stocked in May, averaging 10 inches.  Spring stocking is done, Cave Lake will be stocked again in the fall after temperatures cool down. Water temperatures are sitting at 60 0F. Anglers should expect to catch hatchery stocked trout, however, there is a chance that you may catch a trout carried over from previous years.  Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, PowerBait, spinners (Mepps and Panther Martins), and a variety of wetflies behind a bubble.
