Green Lake Fishing in Glacier County, Montana

• Overview

  Green Lake lies in Glacier County, Montana. The surface lies 5,187 feet up. It covers about 6 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Glacier County. Head to South Browning, 17 miles away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Lethbridge, 93 miles distant. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Green Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Glacier County cover brook trout, northern pike, longnose sucker and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Treat Green Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 59°F at the top of summer and 20°F at the bottom of winter. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Green Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lubec Lake sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Green Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
