• Where to Fish on Moulton Reservoir Number One

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish documented in Silver Bow County include brook trout, longnose sucker and cutthroat trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Moulton Reservoir Number One a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 58°F on average, January about 19°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Moulton Reservoir Number One.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is B and B Fishpond, 4.3 miles out. Check the position at Moulton Reservoir Number One before loading the car.
