Ingomar Lake is a lake in Ravalli County, Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Ingomar Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Around the open side of a steep shoreline, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the clean side 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 upper edge of a rocky point, 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.
Across the quiet end of a broad flat, 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.
Near the gravel lip of a rocky point, 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.
Beside the shallow corner 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.
