Official stocking history

Baree Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana.

Without a dependable size figure for Baree Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Baree Lake include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

How to Read the Water

Across the clearer side of the old channel, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

Across the clean side of a rocky point, 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

Near the current seam of a small island, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

Beside the first edge of the nearest cove, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
