Triskele Lake near Red Lodge: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Triskele Lake in Carbon County, Montana. The country round it is rolling bush from end to end. Surface area runs to about 5 acres — small enough to read in one session. Our Carbon County list holds plenty of bigger water. Red Lodge lies 20 miles from the water. Billings sits 74 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Triskele Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name rainbow trout, brook trout and sauger. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Triskele Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year August sits at 47°F and January at 13°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid June. Climate figures give an open season running mid June to late October. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Triskele Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Two Bits Lake, 0.4 miles out.
