This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast: Rigger is back with Cody Nagel, fisheries biologist and local fish-whisperer, to figure out what’s really going on with Fresno and Nelson Reservoirs. After last week’s episode showed off a freakin’ whirlpool in Fresno (thanks, Steve Darlinton), people had questions—like, are the fish gonna make it?!
Between drought, siphon shutdowns, and water being dumped for crops, things are getting tense in the Milk River Basin. Cody breaks it all down and even tosses in some killer Paddlefish tips for those lucky tag-holders.
Check out the sneak peek below, get the scoop, and maybe even learn how not to get skunked on your next trip.
Watch, like, share, and make Rigger’s day:
