Lake Florence is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana.

No reliable acreage is listed for Lake Florence, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Near the outer drop of the old channel, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the sheltered 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.

How to Read the Water

Along the current seam of a small bay, 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.

Season by Season

Around the quiet end 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

Along the quiet end of a steep shoreline, 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 first edge of a patch of green weeds, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
