Montana Fish Report

The trout bite seems to be getting better.  Most anglers are catching a few fish with the occasional limit coming in.  Trolling anglers are catching fish at various depths, from the surface to 25 feet.  To locate the fish try running a dodger/crawler combo from 15-25 deep on one rod, and large floating Rapala on the other.  Also, a number of brown trout are being caught. This is a great time to troll for trophy size browns.  Try using large plugs such as a J11 Rapala in firetiger or shad pattern. Bass: Good.  Not a lot of fish being caught but some giants are showing up.  These giant fish are being caught on mainly jigs, worms, and swim baits.  We have been seeing a lot of big spotted bass being caught and we possibly have a world record swimming around out there.   To catch some fish, and maybe that record, try fishing from 10-25' with various soft plastics. Some great springtime baits include Brush Hogs, Senkos, and lizards. Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
