Montana Fish Report

Gull Lake received 500 pounds of Alpers on Monday. Nightcrawlers, garlic-scented Power Bait or salmon peach Power Bait gets action. Trollers go down three to four colors to find fish. Traffic is light but trout in the two pound class are common. Trollers have to go down eight to nine colors. Shore anglers use the typical baits. Alpers planted June on Monday and DFG added more on Wednesday. At Silver, a huge load of Alpers was dumped in last week and it has paid off.  We have had a number of 2 and 3 pound rainbows come in over the weekend just in time for Labor Day Weekend next week.  DFG also dropped in their weekly load of 900 pounds of catchables into the lake on Wednesday.  So, while the weather is still hot and the fish are deep in the cooler water, there are still plenty of fish to be caught and plenty of great pictures to be taken. With the water temperature at the surface around 52 degrees try taking your baits deep in the water using some Salmon Peach, Garlic, or Rainbow Power Bait and some of the new YUM baits have also been doing well.  Worms and lures have been also been doing well in the lake and in Rush Creek.  Also on Rush and Silver, Thomas Buoyants have been knocking them dead.
