LeNoir Reservoir is a reservoir in Phillips County, Montana.

Use the shape you can see at LeNoir Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Along the deep corner of a wooded bank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the shallow side 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 clearer side of a flooded tree line, 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

Beside the quiet end of a short point, 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

Across the lower edge of a windblown shore, 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 rocky lip of a channel turn, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
