Montana Fish Report

The past two weeks have been producing some nice size trout and the cooler temperatures and some rain that is rolling through this week have helped to cool the water temperatures and made for some great fishing at Silver Lake.  Power baits and worms have been the most consistent baits the past two weeks (sorry I missed last weeks report) and Thomas Buoyant and Needle Fish have done well on the lure side.  Some fishermen are still having some luck using some flies, try a Green or Brown Wooly Bugger or some Mosquitoes before we start to get some colder temperatures.  Fishing from the Point across from the store or out in a boat at the far end of teh lake where Rush Creek dumps into Silver lake have been some great spots.  Also, Rush Creek has pumped out some great quality fish this week and some great size trout. At Gull Lake, the bite has slowed a bit. Limits are being caught but it’s taking a little longer to do so. A handful of two and three pound fish were caught last week. Power Bait (Garlic or salmon peach) or nightcrawlers work best. June Lake trollers are still at seven to nine colors and using Thomas Bouyants or Needlefish. Still fishing requires Power Bait or nightcrawlers. Best spots are the reeds and near the beach at the east end of the lake. A lot of two pound fish are being caught. A 7.8 pound trout was caught Tuesday by Howard Bradley of Pinon Hills. Gull Lake (760) 648-7539, June Lake (760) 648-7726, Silver Lake (760) 648-7525
