Boone Reservoir is a reservoir in Valley County, Montana.
No reliable acreage is listed for Boone Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Along the firm edge of a protected bank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the sunny side of the old channel, 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.
Across the deep side of a rocky point, 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.
Across 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.
Along the weed line of a narrow arm, 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 firm edge of a flooded tree line, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
