Crappie
Crappie fishing near Terry, Montana, requires a bit of searching, as they aren't as widespread as some other species. Focus your efforts on smaller, warmer reservoirs and ponds in the area. These impoundments often provide the calm, weedy habitat that crappie prefer. Spring and early summer, during the spawn, are the best times to target them. Look for them in shallow water near submerged vegetation or brush. Small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber are classic crappie presentations. A practical tip for Terry: local bait shops, if available, can offer valuable insights into which ponds are producing and what baits are working best. Be aware that some of these smaller waters may be privately owned, so always obtain permission before fishing. The crappie in this area tend to be relatively small, but they can be plentiful, providing for some enjoyable panfishing.
