Hidden Lake is a lake in Teton County, Montana.
Hidden Lake in Teton County is a lake in Montana and covers about 1.59 acres.
The small size of Hidden Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Along the lower edge of a firm-bottom flat, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the darker edge of a wooded bank, 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.
Near the weed line of an inlet turn, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Along the deep corner of a main-lake point, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Beside the upper edge of a creek mouth, 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.
Near the windward edge of the nearest cove, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
