Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in central Montana, the area around Belt offers some interesting options. While Belt itself is a small town, it's within reach of the Missouri River and several reservoirs that hold walleye. The Missouri, in particular, can be productive, though navigating it requires caution due to fluctuating water levels and submerged obstacles. The best time to target walleye here is typically in the spring (May-June) as the water warms and the fish become more active after spawning. Fall (September-October) can also be good as they feed up before winter. A local tip: Pay attention to the water clarity. If the Missouri is muddy after a rain, try fishing the clearer water near the mouths of tributaries. Also, be aware that walleye regulations can vary on different sections of the Missouri, so check the current Montana fishing regulations before you head out.
