Fritzner Reservoir is a reservoir in Fergus County, Montana and covers about 4.81 acres.
The small size of Fritzner Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Beside the first edge of the old channel, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Along the darker edge of a patch of green weeds, 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.
How to Read the Water
Beside the channel lip of a short point, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
Along the hard edge of a small island, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Near the darker edge of an open-water break, 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.
Along the open side of a weed bed, 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.
