Landers Reservoir in Gallatin County is a reservoir in Montana and covers about 32.6 acres.

Beside the open side of a wooded bank, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.

Fish and Baits

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

Near the firm edge of a channel turn, 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 channel lip of a firm-bottom hump, 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 shaded side of a main-lake point, 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

Beside the clearer side 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.

Near the gravel lip of a creek mouth, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
