Sandon Lake is a lake in Carter County, Montana and covers about 43.76 acres.
Around the first edge of a creek mouth, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Beside the narrow end of a short point, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the clearer side of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
Along the open side of a creek mouth, 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.
Across the weed line of a windblown shore, 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.
Around the gravel lip of a gravel shelf, 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.
Along the inside edge of a deep bend, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
