Montana Fish Report

Low water means that anglers are limited to fishing from shore around the dam, or fishing from inflatables or personal watercraft. Weed growth will likely make bank fishing difficult near the dam. Some trout anglers have reported success at Hyatt in recent weeks. Bass anglers are encouraged to harvest largemouth smaller than 14-inches while releasing larger bass. Larger bass may help reduce the chance of stunted populations when Hyatt fills again. All anglers should be aware that Hyatt appears to be dropping lower than the levels seen during the 2013-2015 drought.
