McGregor Lake is a lake in Flathead County, Montana.
No reliable acreage is listed for McGregor Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for McGregor Lake include Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, Largescale Sucker, Longnose Sucker, Mountain Whitefish, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Rainbow Trout, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
Along the upper edge of a firm-bottom hump, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Beside the firm edge of an open-water break, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Across the gravel lip of a sand-to-rock change, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Along the channel lip of a quiet pocket, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Beside the hard edge of a narrow arm, 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.
Around the open side of a gravel shelf, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
Around the soft edge of a narrow arm, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
