Hering Lake Cuttie

We continue to suggested that Beula Lake is one of the best places for still water fishing success in the region. We also suggest that although the lake offers good shoreline and wading opportunities, the best way to realize what this lake offers is through packing in a flotation device. If using such a device is chosen, consider trying it on nearby Hering Lake which is an easy quarter-mile walk south of Beula. Hering is about two-thirds the size of Beula but offers very little wading locations. Using a flotation device allows fishing the west side of the lake where deeper water host a good poulation of Yellowstone Cutthroat trout and the forested shoreline holds an abundance of terrestrial insects as well as damsel flies, cinnamon caddis and speckled duns. Although fewer trout are present, Hering Lake trout grow to larger sizes than those in Beula Lake. Consider fishing Hering Lake when upcoming flying ant activity becomes dense enough to attract the trout population here.
