jdbigeye Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Any reports from the fort?Hoping to make a trip out there in mid January. Ice conditions???Thanks.JDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhowe Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 JDB,I havent heard a thing from Peck, but I am sure they have some frozen bays if Nelson was completely froze. You should give Nelson a try if you go to Peck, it can be a real sleeper...I have some guys that are going to go over to Nelson New Years weekend and I will give a full report when they return. That 6 line rule in Eastern MT really gives a guy some options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAJ Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Mj I talked to a guy that came from there this morning and it is wide open so far. May be some bays iced over, but that is all. The Ducks are thick in the Nasuha area. CAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeser Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Looking at the webcams, it looks pretty open to me... I have a trip planned for late February, so I'll be watching it real close. (and crossing my fingers / praying to the ice gods ) --Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishduckdog Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 So did any of you guys head out there ice fishing and have any luck? any pictures?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeser Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I am heading out the first weekend in March, or the last weekend in February depending on ice conditions. A bunch of guys I know just came back this week, they said it blew so hard they couldn't set up their portables so they just fished tip-ups. Caught many pike 6-10 lbs and one nice 10 lb laker. Hopefully I'll have pics when I come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhowe Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Cheeser,If you're going to Peck...check out Nelson, I hear the 'eyes bite in really going well, as are the northerns. If Pecks a bust, I wouldnt hesitate to hit Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeser Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks for the info, Mike - I checked out Nelson last night on-line and we will definitely keep it in mind! --Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeser Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 As promised, here is an update on my trip to Fort Peck. All I can say is WOW! Certainly not what I had pictured at all. Very remote and isolated. Very quiet - at one time, my ears were ringing from the silence. However, I have never had more fun fishing! Well, that might be a stretch, but it was certainly worth the trip, even though we drove through 300 miles of blizzard to get there. This first one is my first 10 lb Laker! Pretty sweet. Had her smoked - yum! Bob scored a nice 9 lb Walleye! Jason did the best - the pike is just shy of 19 lbs, laker is 9 1/2. Me setting a tip-up - nice scenery. Notice the first day was cold and windy, the last two were beautiful! Jason with some more fish on the last day! Of course no trip would be complete without some of these! Total tally for 4 guys was 22 pike, 5 lakers, 3 walleyes and a chinook salmon. --Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeser Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Fortunately, we did not have to anchor houses (although we had them along) and actually the last two days the winds were very light.We were in the middle, near Sunderlin Bay.--Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
