Fort Peck Rain Turns Hunting to Fishing and a Carp Steals the Show

Fort Peck Rain Turns Hunting to Fishing and a Carp Steals the Show

November 3, 2026 by Angela Montana

Fort Peck’s rain sent hunting plans packing, so Cameron Hockett and the crew at Fish On Charters traded the hunt for a salmon snagging adventure. Fish On Charters posted on social media that the salmon were playing hard to get: one made it aboard, while a few others managed to escape. Then a carp showed up uninvited, grabbed the spotlight, and put up a heck of a fight—clearly not realizing this was supposed to be a salmon trip.

A little rain, a few fish stories, and one surprise heavyweight made for a pretty good day on the water. Book your own outing with Fish On Charters at (406) 844-3474, charters@fishonmt.com, or FISHONMT.com.
