Don Wilkins reports excellent fishing at Fort Peck, with walleye actively biting in shallow waters. Anglers should use jigs, plastics, and crankbaits as water temperatures rise this season.

Fort Peck is currently an excellent fishing destination, with active walleye, lakers, and northerns. Anglers are finding success with jigs, plastics, and trolling crankbaits in warming waters.

Walleye fishing at Fort Peck is weather-dependent, with better success in sunny conditions. Effective baits included Walleye Nations jigs and Kietech paddle tails, while lakers were caught trolling at shallow depths.

Walleye fishing at Fort Peck remains productive, especially near the Dam and Duck Creek. Effective methods include using Marble Eye jigs and dragging fathead minnows on various jigs.

This past week, fishing on Peck was impossible due to warm weather and unsafe ice conditions, signaling the end of the season. Areas near the dam have opened up, hinting at potential boat usage soon. It's an opportune time to service ice fishing gear and prepare for next winter.
