Crappie
Crappie fishing near Glasgow, Montana, centers around the vast Fort Peck Reservoir. While not the first species that comes to mind when thinking of Fort Peck, crappie can be found in good numbers in specific areas, particularly in the shallower, weedy bays and creek arms. Spring (late April-May) is the prime time, as the crappie move into these areas to spawn. Look for submerged timber, brush piles, or weed beds in water depths of 5-15 feet. A local tip: Use your electronics to locate schools of crappie before you start fishing. Minnows suspended under a bobber are a classic and effective technique. The crappie in Fort Peck can be surprisingly large, so be prepared for some quality fish. Bear Creek arm and Hell Creek are good places to start.
