Fishing
Report: Lake Koocanusa was formed by the Libby Dam in
1972 and varies drastically in size from river size until mid-May
or June and much larger through September. Whitefish and burbot
are resident in the lake and Kokanee,
yellowstone cutthroat and Gerrard strain rainbow
trout are stocked here, all reaching good sizes. Trolling with
baited or small silver and red lures are the most popular methods
used by anglers. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
