Don Wilkins' Weekly Fort Peck Fishing Report 6.26.26

Don Wilkins' Weekly Fort Peck Fishing Report 6.26.26 focuses on current techniques for catching walleye, lake trout and northern pike on Lake Fort Peck. Wilkins reports best results on main-lake points for walleye, targeting 18–25 feet of water and using slow “death” trolling rigs with a single red or white bead, or a green prop blade. He adds that jigs and minnows have also produced bigger fish, with trolling speeds of 1–1.1 mph. For lake trout, he points anglers to flats next to deep points in 95–120 feet of water, using vertical jigging with swim baits 10–15 feet off bottom. Pike are abundant in shallow weed areas, with casting spoons and shallow-running crankbaits working well.
