Chilled Lakes is a lake in Madison County, Montana.

Fish listed for Chilled Lakes include Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
Along the upper edge of an outside bend, 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 deep side of the old channel, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
Along the soft edge of a broad flat, 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.
Across the gravel lip of a firm-bottom flat, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
