• Flathead Lake - Laker bite is hot right now! Good jigging off the delta in 50'-80' of water using VMC hair jigs. Trolling shallow with Rapala Scatter Raps has been a good option as well.
• Echo Lake - Bass bite is getting good. The fish are moving up shallow so try suspending jerk baits or shallow cranks to encourage a bite.
• Lake Koocanusa - Rainbows have been biting on Wise Flies with planer boards. The Bulls are biting on Rapala Taildancers or flatfish in about 40'-60' of water.
• Church Slough - Bass fishing has been picking up. Try working structure with Senkos or craw patterns.
• McGregor Lake - Laker fishing has been good. Most action has been fishing off Champion Bay jigging drop offs around 80' down.
• Flathead River - Flows remain high at around 12000 cfs, not good fishing.
• Swan Lake - Lakers are still biting in about 70'-80' of water using pearl tubes and dead bait.
• Murray Lake - Good trout fishing from shore. Try using lil Cleos and Powerbait.
