Walleye
Walleye fishing near Bainville, Montana, centers around the mighty Fort Peck Reservoir. This massive body of water holds a healthy population of walleye, offering anglers a chance at some truly impressive fish. The best time to target walleye here is in the spring, right after ice-out, as they move into shallower water to spawn. Jigging with minnows or leeches is a classic and effective technique. Summer also provides good walleye fishing, but you'll typically need to fish deeper, using bottom bouncers or trolling crankbaits. For access, the Hell Creek State Park and the Fort Peck Marina are popular boat launch points. Be aware that Fort Peck is a large and sometimes unforgiving body of water; pay close attention to weather forecasts and bring appropriate safety gear. The walleye in Fort Peck are known for their size, so be sure to bring a net!
