​Flathead Lake
The Lake Trout fishing is good. Check the West Shore to Cedar Island area. Trilling large Flatfish at 160’-180’. Also jigging near Painted Rocks at the same depth. Try the Delta area also 15’-45’. Good luck jigging with Zimmer Rattle D’Zastors or Pete’s Whitefish Slayers. The South End is also picking up near Rocky Point or the Narrows both trolling and jigging.
East Bay
Ice is gone. The Perch should start moving in very soon. You might catch some fish now. Look for the 50° days to warm the water up.

The Bassmaster Classic is a competition in professional bass fishing. It was first held in 1971 on Lake Mead, Nevada. Originally it was a fall event (1971-1983), but it was switched to summer in 1984 and then to late winter in 2006.The winner of the tournament is widely considered to be the world champion of bass fishing, as is stated on the winner's trophy.

The event has turned into a three-day spectacle, complete with a theatrical presentation of the weigh-ins and hours of television coverage. ESPN purchases Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS), which organizes the event, and increased coverage of the event and the Classic's profile.

​Flathead Lake
Excellent Lake Trout fishing. Try Paint Rocks to Cedar Island; trolling 160’-180’ with Flatfish or just jigging. The Delta is fishing well for Lake Trout and Lake Whitefish. Try 15’-30’ deep. You can launch at Wayfarers State Park or Flathead River Sportsman Bridge fishing access site.

Flathead River
Upper main stem is fishing well for the fly fishermen. Try Streamer patterns, which have been working well for Cutthroats, Bulls and a few Mountain Whitefish.
Lower End of the river above Bigfork you’ll need to look for deep holes – 20’-40’ for the Lake Trout and Whitefish. Be sure to check your regulations for river fishing.
Still some good ice fishing going. The late ice is excellent for Salmon fishing.
