Sky Lakes is a lake in Lincoln County, Montana.
No reliable acreage is listed for Sky Lakes, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Sky Lakes include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
Along the outer drop of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
Beside the clearer side of a broad flat, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
Across the weed line 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.
Near the calm side of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
