Fennon Slough is a lake in Flathead County, Montana.
No reliable acreage is listed for Fennon Slough, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Fennon Slough include Black Bullhead, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, Lake Whitefish, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Longnose Sucker, Mountain Whitefish, Northern Pike, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Peamouth-Northern Pikeminnow Hybrid, Pumpkinseed, Pygmy Whitefish, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
Beside the windward edge of a sand-to-rock change, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Around the upper edge of an open-water break, cover weeds, shallow points, and flat edges with a spoon or sturdy minnow lure for northern pike.
Across the deep side of a shallow saddle, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Near the deep side of a sand-to-rock change, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Around the outer drop of a flooded tree line, other targets listed here include Black Bullhead, and Lake Whitefish; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Along the firm edge of a main-lake point, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Along the clearer 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.
Along the narrow end of a sand-to-rock change, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.
Across the clearer side of an inlet turn, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
