Currie Spring is a lake in Cascade County, Montana and covers about 0.51 acres.
On a water as small as Currie Spring, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Along the lower edge of a windblown shore, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the shallow side of a weed bed, 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.
Near the clearer side of a flooded tree line, 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.
Beside the quiet end of a wooded bank, 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.
Near the darker edge of the nearest cove, 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.
Around the narrow end of a patch of green weeds, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
