 Hungry
Horse Reservoir, which stretches for more than 35 miles
through beautiful and remote country, is fairly popular
among pleasure boaters due to its scenic and isolated setting
along with its easy access. The reservoir was created by
the building of the Hungry Horse Dam, covering once pristine
wilderness waters of the South
Fork Flathead River.
For fishing, Hungry
Horse Reservoir comes up lacking. The reservoir is managed
for power production purposes, and during low water, simply
reaching the lake can be a challenge. The lake is not stocked
unlike most other reservoirs in Montana. For those who
want to attempt to fish Hungry Horse Reservoir, the best
place will be around some of the inlets and bays that exist
all along the reservoirs shoreline.

Primary fish species
in the reservoir include cutthroat trout and whitefish,
along with some scattered bull trout that make their way
down from the South Fork of the Flathead.
Access to the
head of Hungry Horse Reservoir is excellent. Just take
the paved road from the town of Hungry Horse a few miles
to the dam. To travel beyond the dam, though, will require
a lot of patience as the road is dirt, twists frequently
and is very bumpy. Also make sure you have a spare tire
for any trip down past the reservoir - the road has a nasty
reputation for eating tires.
