Montana Fish Report

Fishing is excellent.  Bait casters should try Berkeley garlic eggs and garlic Power Bait, Gulp eggs, Gulp garlic eggs, Zekes floating bait, and inflated nightcrawler on a sliding sinker rig with a 30-inch leader. Trollers should try using Wedding Rings, Needlefish, Cripplure, Humdinger, Berkley Grubs, Berkley Atomic Teaser (New), Berkley Trout worms, Mice Tails, Apex, and Glitter Bugs, behind a Wild Thing or small dodger or you favorite flasher. Troll slow as these fish are sluggish due to cold water. Fly fishermen should try sparrow nymphs, woolly buggers, and bead head nymphs on either a fast sink or intermedite sink line. If you have on floating line use a small splitshot to sink your line. Lure fishermen should try Panther Martin spinners, Rooster Tails, Kastmasters, Mepps, Blue Fox, Thomas Bouyants, and Rapala's.
