Boneau Reservoir is a reservoir in Chouteau County, Montana.
The recorded size of Boneau Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Around the narrow end of an outside bend, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the weed line of a gravel shelf, 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.
Beside the first edge of a shaded bank, 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.
Around the outer drop of a creek mouth, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Near the hard edge of a small bay, 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.
Beside the weed line of an outside bend, 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.
