About Lima Reservoir

Lima Reservoir in Beaverhead County, Montana, offers a spacious outdoor setting that changes with the seasons. Covering over 4,300 acres, this lake provides plenty of open water for those who appreciate wide, natural spaces. Despite its size, the reservoir remains very shallow, which shapes the kind of wildlife and water activities it supports. The shallow depth means the water warms quickly in summer and cools off fast in colder months, creating a dynamic environment for visitors throughout the year. Although there are no nearby towns or state parks, the reservoir's remote feel adds to its appeal for those seeking a quiet retreat in Montana's rugged landscape.

Fishing Lima Reservoir

Fishing at Lima Reservoir suits anglers who are comfortable targeting burbot, the lake's known fish species. The shallow nature of the water influences the fish's behavior and availability, making it a unique spot for those interested in this particular species. While the fishing opportunities may be limited to burbot, the experience can be rewarding for anglers who appreciate the challenge and the natural setting of this Montana reservoir.

Ice Fishing on Lima Reservoir

Ice fishing at Lima Reservoir offers a distinctive seasonal experience. The lake's shallow waters freeze over, creating a quiet and focused environment for anglers seeking burbot during the colder months. The remote location enhances the peacefulness of ice fishing here, making it an appealing destination for those who enjoy winter angling.
