Fishing trips originate at Hell Creek Marina, in Hell Creek State Park, 26 miles north of Jordan.
We will meet at the Hell Creek boat ramp.
Time of departure is as early as you would like, usually 6 a.m., however we can depart as early as the client would like. We will fish at least eight hours, and probably more weather permitting.
With my 20-foot Lund boat and 225-horsepower Mercury outboard, there are plenty of options for places to go.
Once we get to the fishing spot, we'll either troll with my 9.9-horsepower Mercury kicker motor or with my MinnKota AutoPilot electric trolling motor.
Fishing tactics vary with the time of the year, the depth and species of the fish we're after and water temperature which helps determine how active the fish might be.
I personally practice selective harvest but I will not force these values on my clients. Once you catch a fish, the choice as to release it, or keep it to put it on the wall, or to eat it -- it's your choice. Most people do not get to fish as often as they would like, travel great distances, and pay a lot of money to catch a nice fish or several fish.
The Fort Peck fishery has several age classes of walleye with a number of big fish in the older age classes. This walleye fishery is supplemented heavily by stocking and the loss of a few big walleyes will not affect production.
When the fishing day is done, your fish will be cleaned and bagged at the fish cleaning station at Hell Creek State Park for you to take home or to have cooked for you at the Marina.
Accommodations in the area include the Garfield Motel (406-557-6215) or Fellman's Motel (406-557-2209) in Jordan, motel units at the Fort Peck Marina (406-557-2345) or you can camp at Hell Creek State Park.
The State Park offers running water, flush toilets, shower facilities, fish cleaning station, kids play area and an RV dump station. There are RV plug-ins for electricity.
