Montana Lake, Upper is a lake in Mineral County, Montana and covers about 12.15 acres.
On a water as small as Montana Lake, Upper, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Montana Lake, Upper include Brook Trout.
Around the firm edge of an open-water break, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Beside the clearer side of the old channel, 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.
Across the narrow end of a short point, 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 upper edge of a steep shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
