Fish species in Sidney Samuelson

Official stocking history

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.

Sidney Samuelson is a lake in Powder River County, Montana and covers about 11.68 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Sidney Samuelson include Largemouth Bass.

Beside the current seam of a shaded bank, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

How to Read the Water

Across the first edge of a deep bend, 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.

Season by Season

Across the upper edge of a broad flat, 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

Beside the gravel lip of a main-lake 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.

Along the clearer side of a protected bank, 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.
