Sheridan Lake is a lake in Lake County, Montana.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Sheridan Lake in Lake County is a lake in Montana and covers about 1.84 acres.
The small size of Sheridan Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Near the channel lip of a weed bed, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Along the current seam of a shaded bank, 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.
Beside the lower edge of a main-lake point, 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.
Along the clean side of the nearest cove, 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.
Across the shallow corner of a short point, 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.
Across the gravel lip of a small bay, 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.
