Walleye
Walleye fishing near Havre, Montana, centers around Fresno Reservoir, a significant body of water west of town. This reservoir provides the ideal habitat for walleye: deep, cool water and plenty of forage fish. The best time to target walleye here is typically in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Jigging with minnows or artificial lures around submerged structure is a popular and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits can also be productive, especially in the open water areas of the reservoir. A local tip is to pay attention to the thermocline, as walleye often congregate near it. Also, invest in a good sonar unit to locate submerged humps and drop-offs where walleye like to hold. Fresno Reservoir can get windy, so be prepared for changing conditions and consider fishing from a boat that can handle rough water. Walleye in Fresno Reservoir are known to reach decent sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
