About Swiftcurrent Lake
Set in Montana, United States, Swiftcurrent Lake is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Swiftcurrent Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
