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.

Warrens Slough is a lake in Powell County, Montana and covers about 2.9 acres.

On a water as small as Warrens Slough, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Across the inside edge of a quiet pocket, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Across the channel lip 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.

How to Read the Water

Across the hard edge of an outside bend, 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

Around the open side of a deep bend, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Across the clearer side of a broad flat, 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.

Across the windward edge of a firm-bottom flat, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
