Fort Peck Montana Lake Trout!

[JJdubs]

Drove 16 hours, 1000 miles from Wisconsin to our destination Fort Peck Lake Montana. Our goal was to catch lake trout ice fishing. It wasn't more than 10 minutes into dropping lines in the water that we already had two hookups and one lake trout on the ice.

Throughout the day we had steady action pulling lake trout through the ice. Eddie from Lakeridge Motel was super helpful in setting us up on general areas where to go, baits, and techniques.

Stay tuned for Episodes Two and Three, the lake trout continued to get bigger each day!

Good catch! Cant wait to see the others! I'm lucky enough to drive less than 2 hours for 3 lakes that have them.

Thanks! Oh we have shorter drives to get on some lake trout, but this lake was on our bucket list to hit. We had all intentions of trying for some walleye and pike too, but it was just too dang cold all week to set out tip ups and we were having too much fun pulling up lakers.
