Mountain View Lake is a lake in Stillwater County, Montana.

Fish listed for Mountain View Lake include Brook Trout, Lake Chub, and White Sucker.
Beside the shaded side of a broad flat, 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.
Near the shallow side 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 shaded side of a windblown shore, 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.
Across the shaded side of the nearest cove, 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.
