Plutz Reservoir is a reservoir in Phillips County, Montana.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Plutz Reservoir is a reservoir in Phillips County, Montana and covers about 5.64 acres.
Plutz Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Plutz Reservoir include Brassy Minnow, Brown Trout, Fathead Minnow, Rainbow Trout, Western Silvery/Plains Minnow, and White Sucker.
Along the open side of a gravel shelf, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Across the open side of a gravel shelf, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
Around the windward edge of the old channel, 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.
Along the quiet end of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
Beside the quiet end 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.
Along the clean side of an open-water break, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
