Reservoir Lake in Madison County is a lake in Montana.

Fish listed for Reservoir Lake include Rocky Mountain Sculpin, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
Along the darker edge of a main-lake point, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Around the lower edge of the old channel, 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.
Along the hard edge of a wooded bank, 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.
Across the gravel lip of a broad flat, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
