Harrison Lake in Flathead County is a lake in Montana.
Across the current seam of a deep bend, the recorded size of Harrison Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Harrison Lake include Brook Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, Longnose Sucker, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
Around the outer drop of a deep bend, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
Near the channel lip of an outside bend, 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.
Season by Season
Beside the clean side of a sand-to-rock change, 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
Across the shaded side of a wooded bank, 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 upper edge of a channel turn, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
