Pikkula Dam is a reservoir in Powder River County, Montana and covers about 5.89 acres.
On a water as small as Pikkula Dam, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Across the clean side of a deep bend, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Beside the shaded side of an inlet turn, 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.
Along the upper edge of the old channel, 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.
Along the shallow corner of a quiet pocket, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
Near the weed line of the old channel, 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.
Along the channel lip of a short point, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
