Smith Lake
8-10” of ice. Lots of Pike and a few decent Perch reports.

Blanchard Lake
About 5” of ice & slush. A few nice Perch and smaller Crappie. Reports of a few Pike thrown in as well.
​
Stillwater
8” of ice. Perch fishing is on and off. Some small Pike being caught with tip-ups.
Beaver Lake
Now has about 3-5” of ice. Reports of a few nice Rainbows along with Salmon. USE CAUTION as some springs are still open.

Rodgers Lake

About 5” of ice. Be patient and get rewarded with a nice Cutthroat. There are reports of a few nice Grayling being iced as well.

Lake Monroe

Good ice, about 5-7”. Lots of smaller Perch along with a few nice ones mixed in. The Pike fishing has been good as well.

Little McGregor

Around 5” of ice. Perch bite has been good, but not much for size. There are some fair Rainbows being caught though.

Thompson Chain

Upper has good ice (5-7”). Perch fishing is best in deeper water. Middle is UNSAFE but reports of people fishing the shore lines. Lower is on and off again for Perch.

Bitterroot Lake

There is some ice on the North end (about 3”) but use EXTREME CAUTION! No reports of fish being caught.

McWenneger Slough

Reports of 2-5” of ice. It is safe out front, but USE CAUTION in main body and NE End. A few keeper Perch and Pike.

Church Slough

Ice is holding about 5”. Good Pike fishing using tip-ups or Jaw Jackers. Crappie has been slow, but lots of small Perch.

Echo Lake

No recent reports, but the bays are fishable. BE CAREFUL in the main body due to thin ice!

​Lake Mary Ronan

Anywhere from 2-5” of ice. No reports of people crossing over the middle to the West side. Perch being caught in front of Tuffit, State Park and Mountain Meadow Resort.

What bait should I use on the jaw jacker in Church Slough and what depths should I be fishing?

For Pike I'd use a 3/8oz jig with twister tail and cut bait. Probably 8-10ft is your ideal range. If you are going for crappie use a demon jig with maggots. Make sure that is suspended in deeper water. Hope this helps.

We got kicked off Monroe by fish and game a few weeks ago. Can someone tell me why there’s always a ton of people out there. And the lake isn’t posted

Garret, Lake Monroe has no Public Fishing Access. I would figure that is why FWP asked you to leave. It has been posted with No Trespassing and should still be. You can double check access and such on FWP's website. https://myfwp.mt.gov/fishMT/waterbody/41907?waterBodyName=Lake+Monroe
