Bahls Dam in Daniels County is a reservoir in Montana and covers about 2.33 acres.
Bahls Dam is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Near the weed line of an outside bend, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Beside the first edge of a quiet pocket, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
How to Read the Water
Along the deep corner of a patch of green weeds, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
Beside the weed line of a firm-bottom flat, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Across the lower edge of a gravel shelf, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Across the inside edge of a broad flat, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
