Fort Peck Bait shops

[waterfowlstocker]

Looking to ice fishing Fort Peck for the first time. Coming from the Black Hills in South Dakota and trying to get some information on the area before I head up there. Was looking to see what bait shops are around Fort Peck, and any suggestions on places to stay?

Thanks, I work weekends in the winter, and have tuesday and wednesday off for my weekend. Curious if how busy the motels are during the middle of the week?? wondering if I should plan ahead or if I can wing it and get a place to stay in the middle of the week with out reservations.

You could probably get away with winging it but I would call them a little ahead of time. We stayed there a couple months ago and she had to leave the door open and the key on the table because we got there late in the evening.   Small, clean rooms pretty close to the reservoir.  They also have some groceries, coffee and I think minnows. Also, the Gateway bar/restaurant is right across the highway.

Call Eddie at Lakeridge-406.526.3597  He has motel, cabins and RV spots, is right in FT Peck, has fuel, bait and tackle.  He will point you in the right direction and will even be able to guide you after the first of the year if so desired.  Good Luck!!!
