Northern Pike
Pike anglers visiting Belt, Montana, will find opportunities within a reasonable drive. While not right in town, the reservoirs and backwaters associated with the Missouri River offer the best chance to tangle with these toothy predators. Look for weedy bays and areas with submerged timber, especially in the spring and early summer (May-June) when the pike are spawning or recovering from it. Fall (September-October) as the water cools can also be productive as they aggressively feed. A practical tip: Consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Also, be mindful of Montana's pike regulations, which may include specific size or possession limits depending on the water body. Access to the Missouri River can be found at various fishing access sites, but a four-wheel-drive vehicle may be helpful for some of the more remote locations.
