Don't let the spring runoff scare you off the water! 🎣 While our river systems are feeling the melt, the local lakes and sloughs are producing excellent, consistent action right now.

If you can find a safe, "clean green" window on the Flathead River, jump on it—otherwise, head to the lakes where the post-spawn bite is heating up. We have the complete June 5th breakdown on what’s biting, what to throw, and critical safety/FWP regulation reminders for Hungry Horse and the Forks.

TOP BETS THIS WEEK:
🟢 Flathead Lake: Lakers are the headline, stacked along drop-offs in 40–100 feet. Drop white tube jigs or white hair jigs tipped with cut bait. Perch and bass are waking up around Polson Bay docks. Heads up: High water means severe floating debris hazards for boaters!
🟢 Hungry Horse Reservoir: Excellent deep-water trout and Kokanee action. (Remember: You must have a valid physical Bull Trout Catch Card to target them here).
🟢 Ashley Lake: Salmon are holding deep (40-50 ft). Perch are hiding in the weeds. And yes, we just restocked live leeches here at Snappy's! Thanks to Flathead Bait
🟢 The Rivers: High, fast, and volatile. If it looks like chocolate milk, opt for the lakes. If you find clear edges, drift heavy stonefly nymphs or throw Panther Martins into slow eddies. Single-point hooks only on the North, Middle, and South forks.

Runoff season has officially peaked across the Flathead Valley. Major rivers are throwing a lot of high, muddy water our way, meaning the name of the game this weekend is adjusting your target to our local lakes, reservoirs, and sloughs.

A few quick highlights from the May 29th report:
• Flathead Lake: Active smallmouth, stacked perch in Polson Bay, and a steady lake trout bite—though tactics vary heavily by location (and one major area should be skipped entirely).
• Hungry Horse Reservoir: Producing excellent deep-water trout action on early morning trolls, but don't forget your FWP catch-card.
• Mary Ronan & Ashley Lakes: Salmon and Kokanee are out in force, with orange Swedish Pimples taking top honors on Ashley.
• Valley Sloughs: Pike are aggressive in the flooded grass, while crappie are hiding out in the back ends away from the current.

If you are brave enough to tackle the moving water, the Main Flathead is fluctuating daily between green and brown. Stick entirely to the slow, soft edges and inside seams with heavy rigs.

Check out the full, comprehensive blog post for exact depths, hot trolling plugs, and a sneak peek at the upcoming June Salmonfly hatches. 👇
