​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.

​Lake Mary Ronan
Good Perch and Salmon action. Try in from of Camp Tuffit or White Rock bay for the Perch. South side is good for Salmon. Hali Jigs or Sitka Smelt have been working well.

Crystal Lake
Still good reports of Salmon in the early mornings.

Bitterroot Lake
Still producing well for good Salmon on the North end. Big Rainbows have been good in the North end as well. Seeing them mostly in shallow water.

Lower Stillwater
Good Perch on the west end. LOTS of ice, upwards of 3’, so be sure to bring your power auger.

Smith Lake
Lots of small Pike. The big perch are starting to pick up. Try just to the right of the boat launch near the Eagle Tree. Pete’s Tackle Slab Slayer are working well.

Lake Five
Good numbers of smaller Salmon coming in. Few Rainbow mixed in there as well. Mostly hearing the South end is where to be.
