• Flathead Lake - Delta is getting muddy. However, trolling Flatfish and Brads Cut Plugs has been productive. East bay is getting better for both perch and smallmouth.
• Flathead River - River is blown out and muddy, be careful of trees and other hazards hidden by high water.
• Flathead River Sloughs - Pike fishing will be picking up. McWenneger continues to produce a good amount of smaller pike.
• Echo Lake - Smallmouth fishing is picking up as water temps rise, try using Ned craws and jerk baits.
• Loon Lake - Rainbows remain active, Powerbait from the shore along with egg sucking leech patterns.
• Murray Lake - Good Rainbow fishing from the shore, tossing Blufox spinners, Roostertails, and Panther Martins has been consistent.
• Whitefish Lake - Good numbers for lake trout, try jigging off the State Park and further north. White Hellbender Tackle Jigs paired with a piece of cut bait has been the ticket!
• Lake Koocanusa - Bull trout fishing has been good, trolling Flatfish around points and flats, also try trolling flies and Apex lures.
• Middle Thompson Lake - Trolling for Salmon has been good using cowbells and wedding rings, pike have started moving into warmer waters targeting smelt and cut bait.
