Northern Pike
While not as renowned as other Montana locations, Broadview offers some opportunities for northern pike in its larger reservoirs and slower-moving sections of the Yellowstone River. Spring, just after ice-out, is a prime time to target these aggressive predators as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Fall is another excellent period as they bulk up for the winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, as are dead bait rigs. A local tip is to focus on areas with submerged vegetation or woody debris, as pike often ambush prey from these locations. The Yellowstone River can be accessed at several fishing access sites (FAS) near Broadview, but be aware of strong currents and potential hazards. Pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations. Also, be mindful of Montana's fishing regulations regarding size and possession limits for northern pike.
