Mackdays Somewhat disappointing starting but will change with weather.
We’ve heard this: Gravel Bay south end, work North.
Reservoir river systems having change in temperature. Bass pike, perch will probably not get real active until ice fishing Flathead has not had a good report for the last two weeks.
In the Flathead Lake temperature changes slower … perch catching is real high.
You can’t turn in fish from Swan lake but at about 80 feet East side of Swan along the highway using 1 1/2 Rattle D Zastors
I am giving a fishing report on the Outdoor Radio Show out of Missoula every Friday.
Good Fishing
