FORT PECK RESERVOIR, Mont. -- Fort Peck Reservoir in northeast Montana is a long way from everywhere. There are no big cities or major airports nearby, and it takes a full day to drive there from almost everywhere people live.
As a result, most ice fishermen never even consider it. That’s a mistake. Fort Peck is the best multi-species lake in the United States for trophy-sized walleye, sauger, northern pike and lake trout.
There are other places in America that are as good or better for individual freshwater species, but none can produce so many different trophies from the same ice hole.
