Redfields Lake is a lake in Park County, Montana.
Redfields Lake is a lake in Park County, Montana and covers about 1.13 acres.
On a water as small as Redfields Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Along the hard edge of a short point, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the rocky lip of an open-water break, 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.
Near the sheltered edge of the nearest cove, 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.
Beside the steep side of a wooded bank, 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.
Near the shallow corner of the first drop, 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 sheltered edge of a patch of green weeds, 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.
