Montana Fish Report

Most of the high elevation lakes are snowed in now. Frenchman’s Lake is still accessible, there may be some ice on parts of the road where the sun doesn’t hit it, but for the most part you can still get around the lake. Justin Kovanis of Stockton, Kelly Dack of Reno and Charles Blakeney of Chilcoot caught their limits of rainbow trout trolling near the dam, using nightcrawlers/Ford Fenders. Totaling about 15 pounds altogether.   Shore fishing has been good near Frenchman’s boat landing, Big Cove, and near the dam (on the east side of the dam). Fisherman have been using nightcrawlers with marshmallows. Several have had good luck with rainbow Power Bait.  Remember to be very careful driving up to the lake, and dress appropriately for the cold weather. Share the road, people will be going in search of Christmas trees, so be cautious.  (530) 993-4683
