Dont forget, here in Montana, at least in the western district, ling fishing closes for a bit during the spawn.
From dust till the wee hours of the morning the ling come from deep water to scan the shallow for eats. I usually fish a beach or marina dock area. Run your 's from deep to shallower water and as the night goes on you'll see most flags closest the shanty with an occasional deep one. Like said below; fat heads work the best. The fresher dead the better as well. I keep a bait tank of'em in the garage, bag'em up right before we hit the road. Run the line right to the bottom with a little extra to hang themselves . You can use whatever hook you wish I'll run a spoon with a treble hook or speed rig works good too. Depending on the size of the fat head cut him in half with a good portion of guts in either side. Hook'em right where the guts come out. Wait for flags! Z
Clark Canyon Res. has great ling fishing and there is a lake by White Sulfur but i cant think of the name of it but it has HUGE ling caught every year. Hauser can be an other great place to get get some pout but u need a 4 wheeler or snow machine. Hope this helps
