Central
Montana Lakes Overview.gif)
 Central
Montana, despite most sections lying out in the prairie, has
quite a few lakes. Most of these lakes have been created by
dams on the regions various rivers and lakes, providing irrigation
for the areas farmers and ranchers.
Few anglers from
out-state ever visit these lakes, providing an angler on a
Montana fly fishing trip the opporunity to visit places few
people ever really see.
All of the lakes
listed in this section have fish, although most are of the
warm water variety consisting of northern pike, walleye, perch
and catfish, although good rainbow trout fishing can be found
at several of the reservoirs.
Access to the lakes
in central Montana is by and large excellent, with designated
fishing access sites existing on all of them as well as extensive
un-official access sites.
Considering how
remote central Montana is, not surprisingly, most of these
lakes are quite isolated and require some effort on the part
of a fisherman to reach them.
While none of the
lakes in central Montana will soon be on the top of a out-state
anglers destination list, a side-trip to one of these lakes
should not be overlooked, as many of the lakes are quite scenic
and can provide decent fishing, especially for the angler
who has a boat of one type or another. These lakes also generally
have decent camp sites located on them - which is a good thing
since most of these lakes are a long way from the nearest
town or servcies.
