Montana Fish Report

Anglers report of good but inconsistent trout fishing and improved bass fishing as water temperatures warm. The annual algae bloom at Crane Prairie has begun making water clarity poor in most areas but clearer and cooler water can be found in the Cultus, and Quinn River channels and near the inlet tributaries. Balanced leeches, damsels, chironomids, and callibaetis fly patterns are always a good bet for Crane Prairie in June. The reservoir is currently 88 percent full.
