About Tongue River
As a river in Montana, United States, Tongue River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Tongue River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
