Fish species in Schultz Reservoir

Schultz Reservoir is a reservoir in Beaverhead County, Montana.

Without a dependable size figure for Schultz Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Schultz Reservoir include Brook Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

How to Read the Water

Across the lower edge of an open-water break, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

Around the deep side of a small island, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Beside the windward edge of a channel turn, 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.

Along the narrow end of a rocky point, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
