Martinsdale Reservoir is a reservoir in Wheatland County, Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Martinsdale Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Martinsdale Reservoir is a Musselshell River storage lake centered on brown trout, rainbow trout, whitefish, yellow perch, and cutthroat trout.
Cast minnow plugs for browns, troll or cast spoons for rainbows, and use small jigs near bottom for perch.
Water level and river inflow can move fish from broad flats toward the old Musselshell path. Brown trout deserve a low-light shoreline pass, while rainbows and perch often call for a different depth.
Give brown trout, rainbow trout and yellow perch separate passes at Martinsdale Reservoir when they use different water. Across the lower edge of a shaded bank, a lure set for one target should not be dragged through every point, weed edge, and stretch of open water.
Beside the inside edge of a narrow arm, after two bites, note the wind, water color, depth, and bottom. Use that short pattern on the next matching feature instead of starting over on the far side of Martinsdale Reservoir.
Across the clearer side of a short point, before making a long move, change lure depth or speed once near the best spot. This quick test can show whether fish simply moved a few feet or that part of Martinsdale Reservoir has gone quiet.
The main difference is this: Martinsdale Reservoir is a Musselshell River storage lake centered on brown trout, rainbow trout, whitefish, yellow perch, and cutthroat trout.
A good first plan is simple: cast minnow plugs for browns, troll or cast spoons for rainbows, and use small jigs near bottom for perch.
Watch this closely: Water level and river inflow can move fish from broad flats toward the old Musselshell path.
