Quick Reservoir in the north-central part of McCone County is a reservoir in Montana.
Without a dependable size figure for Quick Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Around the hard edge of a protected bank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the quiet end of a creek mouth, 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
Around the current seam of a channel turn, 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
Across the rocky lip of a quiet pocket, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Around the shallow side of a wooded 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.
Near the shallow corner of a patch of green weeds, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
