Glen Lake in Lincoln County is a lake in Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Glen Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Glen Lake include Brook Trout, Burbot, Kokanee Salmon, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Longnose Sucker, Mountain Whitefish, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
Across the lower edge of an open-water break, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Across the quiet end of a rocky point, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Across the clearer side of a gravel shelf, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Around the clearer side of a firm-bottom hump, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Other targets listed here include Burbot; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
Across the shallow side of a steep shoreline, 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
Across the deep side of a main-lake point, 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 first edge of a short point, 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.
Across the deep side of a steep shoreline, 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.
