Fish species in Chamberlain Reservoir #3

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.

Chamberlain Reservoir #3 is a reservoir in Garfield County, Montana and covers about 13.71 acres.

On a water as small as Chamberlain Reservoir #3, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Chamberlain Reservoir #3 include Rainbow Trout.

Along the shallow corner of a patch of green weeds, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

Along the narrow end of an open-water break, 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 deep side of the old channel, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the gravel lip of an open-water break, 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.

Along the first edge of a main-lake point, 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.
