Schlesinger Reservoir is a reservoir in Rosebud County, Montana and covers about 8.77 acres.
Schlesinger Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Across the deep side of a firm-bottom hump, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Near the inside edge of a narrow arm, 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 shaded side of a shaded bank, 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.
Along the darker edge of a shallow saddle, 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.
Across the weed line of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
Beside the quiet end of a windblown shore, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
