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.

Lavold is a lake in Sweet Grass County, Montana and covers about 2.58 acres.

Lavold is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Beside the shaded side of an inlet turn, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Around the current seam of a small bay, 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

Across the shallow corner of a rocky point, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

Beside the channel lip of a wooded bank, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the firm edge of a creek mouth, 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.

Along the first edge of a quiet pocket, 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.
