Murnion Coleman #2 is a lake in Garfield County, Montana and covers about 1.61 acres.
On a water as small as Murnion Coleman #2, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Beside the sunny side of a narrow arm, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Beside the darker edge of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
How to Read the Water
Along the sheltered edge of a deep bend, 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.
Season by Season
Around the firm edge of a small bay, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Across the clean side of a protected bank, 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.
Around the quiet end of an outside bend, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
