Morrell Lake is a lake in Powell County, Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Morrell Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Near the gravel lip of a broad flat, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Near the deep side of a shaded bank, 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 sheltered edge of a rocky point, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Across the first edge of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
Near the inside edge of an open-water break, 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.
Across the lower edge of a steep shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
