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.

Witcher Reservoir is a reservoir in Custer County, Montana.

The recorded size of Witcher Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Along the firm edge of a short point, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Across the gravel lip of a small bay, 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

Near the lower edge of a gravel shelf, 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

Along the clearer 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 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.

Beside the current seam of a rocky point, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
