Northern Pike
If you're chasing trophy Northern Pike, Glasgow, Montana, should be on your radar. Fort Peck Reservoir, a short drive from Glasgow, is the real draw. This massive body of water offers diverse pike habitat, from shallow weedy bays to submerged timber and rocky points. Spring (ice-out through May) is prime time, as the pike move into the shallows to spawn, making them more accessible. Fall (September-October) is also excellent as they feed aggressively before winter. For bank access, try the areas around the dam or various recreation areas along the south shore. Be aware that Fort Peck can get windy, so check the forecast before heading out. Locals often have success trolling large crankbaits or casting spoons and swimbaits in the bays. Pike in Fort Peck can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds relatively common, and even larger specimens possible. Remember to handle these fish with care to help maintain this excellent fishery.
