Quick Reservoir in the northern part of McCone County is a reservoir in Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Quick Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Along the quiet end of an inlet turn, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the current seam of a rocky point, 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
Beside the soft 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.
Season by Season
Near the darker edge of a wooded bank, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Around the shallow side of a narrow arm, 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.
Near the first edge of a weed bed, 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.
