Fish species in Whiteface Reservoir

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.

Whiteface Reservoir is a reservoir in Phillips County, Montana.

No reliable acreage is listed for Whiteface Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Whiteface Reservoir include Largemouth Bass.

Across the deep corner of a firm-bottom flat, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

How to Read the Water

Around the narrow end of an open-water break, 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.

Season by Season

Beside the lower edge 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Across the deep corner of an open-water break, 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.

Beside the clean side of a gravel shelf, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
