Broken Dam Lake is a reservoir in Jefferson County, Montana.
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.
Broken Dam Lake is a reservoir in Jefferson County, Montana and covers about 1.5 acres.
The small size of Broken Dam Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Along the rocky lip of a steep shoreline, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the deep side of an open-water break, 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 sunny side of a wooded 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.
Beside the channel lip 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.
Along the upper edge of a flooded tree line, 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 darker edge of a windblown shore, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
