Savage Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana.
Without a dependable size figure for Savage Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Savage Lake include Black Bullhead, Brook Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
Along the inside edge of a wooded bank, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Around the lower edge of a weed bed, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Near the steep side of a shallow saddle, soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset for black bullhead.
Around the weed line of a windblown shore, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Along the deep corner of a flooded tree line, other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Near the upper edge of a weed bed, 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.
Near the open side of a gravel shelf, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
Around the firm edge of a gravel shelf, 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.
Beside the outside edge of a small island, 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.
