Fish species in Frank Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Frank Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana.

The recorded size of Frank Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Frank Lake include Rainbow Trout, and Redside Shiner.

Around the clearer side of an open-water break, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

Beside the clearer side of a main-lake point, 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.

Season by Season

Near the shaded side of a gravel shelf, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Beside the sunny side of a creek mouth, 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.

Around the clean side of the old channel, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
