Montana is blessed with water; gin-clear cold water. Fed fromglaciers, winter snowpack and deep mountain springs, Montana’s pristinechilly waters are a perfect habitat for trout. Rainbow, Lake,Cutthroat, Brown and Brook Trout thrive to the delight of bears andanglers.Trout depend on cold water to survive. Our waters are cold, troutflourish in Montana. Brook Trout are the easiest to catch but the mostsensitive to water temperature; their population begins to diminish inwaters that exceed 68 degrees F., Montana’s other species of trout arecomfortable at slightly warmer temps. Many fishermen feel that the waryBrown Trout is the most difficult to catch.Montana boasts literally thousands of miles of streams and riversand a generous plethora of lakes. Here in Mineral County we have 53alpine lakes, however; you can only drive to 3, the remainder arehiking trail accessible only. Nearby Glacier County has 116 lakes. TheAbsaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, north and east of Yellowstone Park hasover 400 trout lakes. There is blue ribbon water everywhere, most of itteeming with one or more species of trout.The top of Triple Divide Peak, where continental divides intersect,is located within Glacier National Park (named for the glacial riversof ice that crafted its majestic landscape). TD Peak marks the pointthat gives Montana the distinction of being the only geographic regionin the world whose mighty rivers form parts of three major water sheds;Hudson Bay, The Pacific Ocean and The Gulf of Mexico.In Mineral County, some of Montana’s best fishing holes are to befound. The town of Saint Regis marks the confluence of the St. Regisand Clark Fork Rivers. Here anglers are regularly rewarded with prizewinning catches, fish measuring up to 20 inches are commonplace.Overall the fishing on the Clark Fork is excellent, the river has overa thousand fish per mile in many areas. Some of the toughest andstrongest trout anywhere are found in these waters. The Clark ForkRiver is considered one of the most prolific western rivers in theUnited States.The Clark Fork River commences at its headwaters in the Silver BowMountains near Anaconda, Montana and wanders north and west for over275 miles through arid flat lands, mountains and valleys. When theClark Fork crosses into Idaho, it is the largest river in Montana,carrying an average of over 22,000 cubic feet of water per second.A glorious fall day, honking geese heading south, cool crisp morningair, a dusting of snow on the Bitteroots and trout rising on the river;it doesn’t get any better than this!Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)Montana’s number one game fish, the Rainbow Trout is a highly prizedfavorite among trout anglers and fly fishermen. Commencing in 1989,hundreds of millions of rainbow trout have been introduced fromhatchery stock to habitat throughout the state. Rainbow Trout have beenestablished in streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. In recentyears policy has changed and now Rainbow Trout are primarily introducedonly in lakes and reservoirs.Fish biologist believe that the only Rainbow Trout, actually nativeto Montana, are those that are found in the Kootenai River drainage.In connective water systems that allow the trout to migrate,hatchlings will remain in small creeks or streams until they reach 6 to8 inches and then will venture into the larger rivers and lakes wherethey gain weight and size before returning to spawn. A 33 pound beautyholds the state record; 10 pound catches are common in the majority ofMontana’s alpine lakes.Treasured for its gameness, beauty and firm pink flesh, Rainbow Trout are an important and valued part of Montana’s eco-system.Brook Trout(Salvelinus fontinalis)Brook Trout are plentiful in mountain streams with gravel bottoms. Agood spot to try your luck is in the overhang of trees that provideprotection from preying birds and a bit of shade. Brook Trout feed onother small fish, mollusks, crustaceans and insects. Just about anybait or lure that mimics their food source will land a “Brookie”.A half dozen “Brookies”, dusted with flour and fried in butter overan open campfire, are delightfully tasty. Add some fried potatoes, flipa couple of eggs and you have a Mountain Morning breakfast “fit for aking”.Brown Trout(Salmo trutta)For many an angler, the elusive Brown Trout is hard to catch. TheBrown Trout is a lot more wary than other species. Its shy habits helpto ensure longevity in streams where other trout have been fished out.Brown Trout seek areas with plenty of cover. Under log jams, cuts inthe bank, overhanging tree cover or rock outcroppings are theirfavorite hang-outs. As they grow larger, Brown Trout become even morewary. They will often feed at night when darkness offers protection.Although a challenge to capture, the Brown Trout's succulent flavor isa reward for patience.Brown Trout normally feed on small minnows, crustaceans, worms andinsects. Netting a Brown Trout requires skill, tenacity and a littlebit of luck.Lake Trout(Salvelinus namaycush)By far the largest of all trout species, the Lake Trout prefersdeep, cold lakes. Also sometimes called Salmon Trout, Makinaw or GreatLakes Trout, they feed on any source of flesh available with theirhabitat. Eels, smelt and a variety of minnows are all part of the LakeTrout’s diet.Due to their preference for icy cold waters, the meat of the Lake Trout is rich and flaky, tender and extremely flavorful.In the early spring, fly fishermen working the lake shallows reportsuccess using dry flies. As the weather warms, the Lake Trout movedeeper, retreating to colder waters. Summer and fall fishing requirestrolling with heavier tackle. Cutthroat Trout(Salmo clarki)Icy mountain streams that eventually drain into the Pacific Oceanare the preferred habitat of Cutthroat Trout. They feed on minnows,worms, crustaceans and a variety of insects. In fast moving water orrapids, fly fishing is the method of choice. Brown Trout can also betaken with grubs, worms or lures.Most cutthroat fish populations remain in freshwater during theirlifespan. These trout populations are known as non-migratory,stream-resident or riverine. Some cutthroat make their home in thePacific Ocean, returning to freshwater to feed and spawn in the fall,returning to the ocean in the early part of spring. Those that spendmost of their time in the ocean can weigh up to 20 pounds. The troutthat remain in the freshwater may only get up to 2 pounds.In 1977 the Blackspotted Cutthroat was named the State Fish of Montana.
