where to go?

[bazylyzk88]

Hi Guys. I am from Colorado and I am looking to take an ice fishing tour up north and check out the lakes up there. Can any one tell me where is a good walleye lake and what are the lake condition up there.

You should try using the fishing options on the Montana FWP website. It lists every body of water in Montana and what species are present.

What are you looking for?  Any particular part of the state?

just like a good walleye and perch and crappie place.

Fresno might be a place to start, although I don't know anything about the lake and how the fishing has been.  It is located west of Havre.  You can check out the Fresno thread under Montana ice fishing condition and reports.  Tongue River Reservoir might also be another one to look at.  It is 2 or so hours south east of Billings on the Montana/Wyoming border north of Sheridan.  There's my two cents worth.   I'm sure there are others.

I moved up here from Colo.  The closest any one of best in the state for multi species is Tongue River Reservoir. It is on the Wyoming Montana line just out of Sheridan, Wyo. But he lake is in Mt. Go to The tongue river res. website, get phone number and call Bob the head ranger( that is who will answer) and he will update you. We are heading there in a few days. We live just north of Billings. Was out fishing today and ran into a guy that said they have been doing really food down there lately. Main species are crappie, perch, pike and bass. also cats and walleye.  Good luck.

excuse my typing Colo. Just got in from fishing and still thinking jig jig jig instead of spell check. Or at least that is my excuse. Have a safe trip to Mt. and great fishing I hope.
