Fish species in Sherrett Lake

Sherrett Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana and covers about 15.05 acres.

The small size of Sherrett Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Sherrett Lake include Brook Trout, Longnose Sucker, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

How to Read the Water

Near the outside edge of a broad flat, 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.

Season by Season

Near the clearer side of a channel turn, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Across the calm side of a firm-bottom hump, 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.

Around the clean side of the old channel, 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.
