At 9:40 you're netting a lunker while another whopper jumps out of the water in the background. Thanks for the video.

That was one of the best videos I have seen. If not the best for that lake ever. Thank you for posting. Already planing on going first week of hunting season.

There is not a lake trout population in Sakakawea but that is not to say some couldn't have washed through the dam during the high water years. You can catch king salmon along the face of the dam however, especially in the fall.

Well done!

Chad... We did not catch any Walleyes along the dam but you could probably find Walleyes near trout on York Island and Haxby Point which isn't far from the dam. Great trip, Peter you are always welcome in my boat!

That looks like an absolute blast. I would love to go do that sometime.

Hey Jason Mitchell, you've inspired us! 3 of us from the Grand Forks area are making this trip in 2.5 weeks. We're hoping to find some big walleye out there too. Great video!

Bloboa I live in MT and it's beautiful but it's kinda boring in the sense of it being so small (population)

Why do you grab them by the gills, where they breathe, if you are not keeping them? Btw, Cisco and Lakers spawn in the mid to later fall into winter fall. That's why they are so catchable, like shooting fish in a barrel. Now the ones bleeding at the gills will be extra stressed and probably will die.

+GottaWannaDance we are gripping the gill plate to control the fish and never actually touch the gills.

Great great video. Was wondering how deep were you trolling and what test line?

@LinkHylia763 11 жыл бұрын

I have fished Fort Peck all my life, move into Duck Creek or up into the Milk River Coulee, you will find great pike action or you might catch the walleye of a lifetime. The late fall is also prime time for the pike at Rock Creek and Sand Arroyo Bay. You might even get a few of those fat lakers, too.

@jasonmitchell5579 11 жыл бұрын

We like to release the big fish because it takes so long for fish to get big. Lakers are a great fish to smoke but we have long days when we are on the road filming and seldom keep many fish when we are traveling.

@jasonmitchell4855 11 жыл бұрын

We were trolling anywhere from ten to fifteen feet using ten pound Bionic Braid. Will have to give Duck Creek and Milk River Coulee a look.

Would this tactic also work on lake Sakakawea?

@Chad71174 11 жыл бұрын

Great video, did you get any Walleyes on the same troll ? Ive been wanting to try Peck for awhile now, maybe next fall. Nice catch at 9:50 very cool .

Do they have a Fishing lodge or something connected to this fishing???

@misterpolytech 6 жыл бұрын

Fort Peck reservoir is huge & the storms can come up quickly w/ fast winds & large swells- I've seen some scary stuff out here; you need a V hull boat at least 16' or better out here that can handle large swells & high winds; the reason I run an Arima 19' Sea Ranger is because of this...! Bass boats are a definite no-no!

Thanks for watching. There was a camera man in the boat.

Fort Peck is great water. There are no fishing lodges but there are motels, communities and campgrounds that cater to anglers. A great resource we use when traveling to this area is Montana's Missouri River Country, www.missouririver.visitmt.com Good luck if you get there, it is an incredible place.

does anyone know where to find big lakers towards the western part of fort peck ice fishing thanks

@JasonMitchellOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

You can find lakers through the ice around the Hell Creek Area. The trout do get a little bit more dispersed in the winter.

Can i take home fish caught in this lake??? Or i must give it way. Can u explain about fishing laws of this lake? Im not American.

@JasonMitchellOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

+MerlinMoorlo you can keep some fish on Fort Peck but we recommend releasing the big fish and keeping the smaller fish. A four to five pound lake trout is a great eating fish.
