Wagner Dam is a reservoir in Roosevelt 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.
Wagner Dam is a reservoir in Roosevelt County, Montana and covers about 4.09 acres.
Wagner Dam is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Around the firm edge of a shaded bank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the soft edge of a main-lake point, 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 sheltered edge of a rocky 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 open side of the first drop, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
Beside the deep corner of a wooded bank, 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.
Around the shallow side of a creek mouth, 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.
