Hidden Lake in Meagher County is a lake in Montana.
Along the outside edge of the nearest cove, the recorded size of Hidden Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Hidden Lake include Cutbow Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Along the steep side of a shaded bank, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
Near the upper edge of a gravel shelf, 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.
Season by Season
Across the lower edge of the old channel, 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 outside edge 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.
Beside the upper edge of a shaded bank, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
