• Where to Fish on Middle Foy Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Flathead County list rainbow trout, sockeye salmon and largemouth bass. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Middle Foy Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

  On the long-term average, August reads 65°F and January reads 22°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late March. Averages suggest open water from about late March through to roughly early December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Expect Middle Foy Lake to follow that timing.
