Official stocking history

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.

Bock Lake is a lake in Flathead County, Montana and covers about 1.85 acres.

The small size of Bock Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Near the firm edge of a steep shoreline, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the deep side of a wooded bank, 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

Near the gravel lip of the first drop, 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 clean side of an open-water break, 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

Beside the shallow side of a quiet pocket, 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.

Along the channel lip of an outside bend, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
