The water

White Boar Lake lies NW. of head of Mallandaine Creek; in the St. Mary River watershed. It covers ~19.3 ha surface area.

Stocking

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. White Boar Lake is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 7 recorded releases totalling 17,180 fish (Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout), last stocked 1994-09-01.
Stocking appears to have wound down after 1994. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

The fishing

White Boar Lake fishes as a put-grow stillwater: work chironomids under an indicator over the shoals in spring, then leech and attractor retrieves along the drop-offs as the shallows warm. The stocking record below is the truest read on the size and cohort of fish you will find.
