Lick Lake in Lincoln County is a lake in Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Lick Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Beside the outer drop of a deep bend, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Beside the shallow side of the old channel, 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.
Near the hard edge of a shallow saddle, 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.
Across the weed line of a patch of green weeds, 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.
Along the windward edge of a flooded tree line, 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 narrow end of a firm-bottom hump, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
