Hudiburgh Reservoir is a reservoir in McCone County, Montana.

Without a dependable size figure for Hudiburgh Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Along the windward edge of a small island, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the narrow end of a deep bend, 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 clean side of a channel turn, 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

Across the lower edge of a small bay, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Across the deep corner of a quiet pocket, 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.

Around the inside edge of a broad flat, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
