Silvertip Reservoir is a reservoir in Prairie County, Montana.
Use the shape you can see at Silvertip Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Silvertip Reservoir include Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.
Around the darker edge of the first drop, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Beside the open side of a windblown shore, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Along the weed line of a steep shoreline, 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.
Around the outside edge of a patch of green weeds, 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 clean side of a gravel shelf, 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 current seam of a sand-to-rock change, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
