Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Bahls Reservoir is a reservoir in McCone County, Montana and covers about 0.55 acres.
Bahls Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Around the outer drop of a channel turn, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the upper edge of a short point, 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.
Along the outer drop of a steep shoreline, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Beside the sheltered edge of a broad flat, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
Around the shallow corner of a deep bend, 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.
Around the weed line of a patch of green weeds, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
