Jonathan Miller reported on June 11, 2026, that fishing at Holter is thriving with successful catches of pike, walleye, and trout. Specific baits like jerk baits and jigs are recommended for pike, while walleye are found near Cottonwood and Willow Creek. Trout are biting on wedding rings, with preferred trolling speeds between 1.0mph and 1.5mph.

The Missouri River is currently providing excellent fishing opportunities. From Holter to Great Falls, low water conditions favor nymph fishing, particularly with Prince and Hares Ear nymphs. Meanwhile, paddle fishing is thriving downstream towards Fort Peck, with regulations advising one hook per line and barbless hooks.
