Mack Days are over as of Nov. 12. Hunting season slowsdown the fishing of course.

Whitefish are biting in theriver above the lake and at the Polson bridge. Rance Hertz caught two there days ago.

Dan Smith was trolling around Melita Island and caught lake trout.

Crappie are in the sloughs.

Delta for 90 feet for lake trout and whitefish. Jigging with Glo Grub or a Leadagator or a Rattled Zastor in white glow are successful.

Lake trout will be coming off their spawning beds and will be working the shore lines for perch feeding.

If you fish deeper water there are quite a number of lake trout that aren’t going to spawn this year.

An Erie jig with a fly above it will do the trick.

Not much happening until ice fishing in shallow water on reservoir.

Three bodies of water are generally the first to ice over; East Bay, Turtle Lake and Crow Reservoir. If you hit them right, they can be great fishing. For more detailed information give me a call on my cell phone: 406-250-0241 or call Zimmer Tackle at 406-675-0068.

Good Fishing,

The Macman
