Fishing Glacier

I spent 7 days last week up at West Glacier.  Wife only gave me an hour one morning for fishing.  She said it was a family vacation not a fishing trip.  Here are a couple of pics.  The camera cannot do it justice, especially the water color.  Already making plans for next year.  It will be a fishing trip the family can stay home. 
I did not catch anything, not even a bite.  I was marking fish between 40 to 60 feet on Lake McDonald (pic 1).  Glacier is lead free and I don’t run a downrigger (yet).  Next time I will be better prepared.  I will also be taking a fly rod (pic2).  The fishing regulations for the park are a pain, so pull them online.  Also they do not stock fish.  I would take the yak up there again even if I was not allowed to fish.

Looks spectacular regardless of the fishing!

I was there 3 years ago and my wife said the same thing. Next time I'm bringing a kayak and ignoring the wife. Who cares if the fish are biting or not, those lakes are awesome.

those lakes are beautiful, we did good for Lake Trout in Bowman Lake from a canoe with minnkota&sonar many years ago, nice campground at the end of that lake and 10hp limit as I recall...roger

Glacier is lead free . . . .  The fishing regulations for the park are a pain, so pull them online.

The Glacier National Park fishing regulations permit the use of lead downrigger weights if they are larger than 2 pounds, which is a good thing, because I haven't yet found a non-lead downrigger weight which I like.  However, you can't use any other fishing tackle which contains lead, including leaded line and leadhead jigs.

Wow that water is crystal clear, looks amazing!
