Ice Fishing on Fort Peck Reservoir

What you're signing up for

Fort Peck through the ice is a serious destination — trophy lake trout that pull tip-ups under and walleye that hit on the jig. We run with Captain Lars Sorensen, who's been ice fishing this water for 30+ years and knows where the fish stack up under the ice. Heated shelter, all the gear, real expertise.
