 Tiber
Reservoir is not set to be the next destination spot for anglers
on a Montana fly fishing trip. Located out in the middle of
the prairie in north central Montana, Tiber Reservoir, formed
by the Tiber Dam on the Marias
River, is quite isolated. Despite its remote location,
Tiber Reservoir sees a fair amount of use from the local population,
with local being considered anywhere within a hundred mile
radius. During a nice summer weekend, it is not uncommon to
see dozens of power boats and water-skiers out aimlessly cruising
the lake.
For fly fishing,
Tiber Reservoir is not highly recommended. Its main fish consist
of northern pike, walleye, perch and catfish. Some brown trout
and whitefish can also be found, generally around the inlet
of the Marias River. The lake itself has quite turbid water,
furthering hindering fly fishing.
 Tiber
Reservoir is quite large and is often very windy. As a result,
a motor boat of one kind of another is really needed to adequately
fish the lake.
Access to Tiber
Reservoir is excellent. Several designated access sites exist
around Tiber Dam. It is also very easy to travel away from
the designated access sites along many parts of the lake boundary.
Its along way to
anywhere from Tiber Reservoir, so anyone venturing out to
Tiber Reservoir should plan on bringing their RV or tent.
Several camping areas around Tiber Dam exist that provide
decent facilities.
