Fish species in Kipp Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Kipp Lake is a reservoir in Glacier County, Montana.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Kipp Lake include Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

Near the hard edge of a patch of green weeds, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

Along the gravel lip of a shallow saddle, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

How to Read the Water

Beside the upper edge of a quiet pocket, 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 sunny side of a firm-bottom hump, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the current seam of a deep bend, 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.

Across the steep side of a steep shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
