This week's report by Don Wilkins highlights effective strategies for targeting Walleye, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike. For Walleye, fish main lake points at 1-1.1 mph using slow death rigs. For Lake Trout, vertical jig in 95-120 FOW near deep points. Pike are best caught in shallow weeds with spoons and crankbaits.

Walleye fishing is thriving at main lake points using slow death hooks, jigs, and fathead minnows in 18-25 feet of water. Northern pike are being caught with spoons and crankbaits, alongside dead rods near the shoreline. Lake trout are abundant between 80-110 feet, often staying close to the bottom.

This week at Fort Peck, challenging weather stirred up the lake, but angler Don Wilkins found success. Walleye fishing slowed, requiring jigs and crawlers in 15-20 feet. Northern pike remain aggressive in 10-30 feet, while lakers are deeper at 60-110 feet. Some salmon also caught in deeper areas.
