• Where to Fish on Lamott Springs

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Glacier County cover brook trout, northern pike, longnose sucker, yellow perch and mountain whitefish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lamott Springs fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 66°F; the cold one sits at 23°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late March. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late March until roughly early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lamott Springs fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter.
