Current Reservoir is a reservoir in Phillips County, Montana and covers about 13.25 acres.
Current Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Current Reservoir include Brassy Minnow, Brook Stickleback, Fathead Minnow, Lake Chub, Rainbow Trout, and Sand Shiner.
Across the steep side of a channel turn, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
Across the windward edge of a short point, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
Around the sunny side of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Near the channel lip of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
Beside the outer drop of a rocky 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.
