 Eureka
Reservoir is conveniently located near the town of Choteau,
on the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front. The water of the
reservoir is remarkably clear and tends to be quite shallow.
During late summer, Eureka Reservoir can be become very shallow
due to irrigation demands.
Eureka Reservoir
is quite small, unlike most other nearby reservoirs. As a
result, it is a perfect reservoir for using a float
tube, pontoon
boat, canoe
or inflatable
kayak, provided the winds are not too strong.
Eureka Reservoir
is stocked annually with rainbow trout, which can run up to
several pounds in this lake. As Eureka Reservoir is quite
shallow and has clear water, it is one of the better reservoirs
for fly fishing, although the wind can at times pose challenges
casting.
Fishing pressure
on Eureka Reservoir is higher than other nearby reservoirs
due to its proximity to Choteau, the largest town around for
quite some distance. Access to the reservoir is excellent.
A small fishing access site exists, and it is possible to
wade around the entire lake.
To reach Eureka
Reservoir, go north on Highway 287 out of Choteau for three
miles. Then just follow the fishing access site sign.
