Walleye
Walleye enthusiasts will find opportunities near Cascade, Montana, primarily in the Missouri River and some of the larger reservoirs in the region. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times for walleye fishing, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Jigging with minnows or leeches is a classic and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits along drop-offs and submerged structure can also produce good results. The walleye population here is sustained through natural reproduction and stocking efforts. Be sure to check Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks regulations for specific size and creel limits. A helpful local tip: focus on areas with current breaks or where the river channel swings close to the shoreline. Also, walleye are often light-sensitive, so fishing during low-light conditions or on overcast days can increase your chances of success.
