Echo Lake in Madison County is a lake in Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Echo Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Echo Lake include Rainbow Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
Around the current seam of a main-lake point, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Across the deep side of a patch of green weeds, 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.
Along the inside edge of a shallow saddle, 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.
Around the lower edge of a channel turn, 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 deep corner of the nearest cove, 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.
