Walleye

If you're heading to Terry, Montana, for walleye, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Yellowstone River. This stretch of the river offers diverse structure, from rocky points and submerged timber to deeper channels, all prime walleye habitat. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target these fish, as they tend to be more active during these cooler periods. During the spring spawning run, walleye will congregate in shallower areas, making them easier to target. In the fall, they feed heavily to prepare for winter. A local tip: Focus on areas near the mouths of tributaries entering the Yellowstone, as these areas often hold baitfish and, consequently, walleye. Be aware that river conditions can change rapidly, so check local flow rates and weather forecasts before heading out. Access to the river is available at several public access points near Terry.
