Ice fishing is a great way to experience fishing and the Winter season in a way that many people don’t get to. While it might sound unappealing to some, rest assured that modern technology allows for today’s ice fishing to be comfortable and precise. By utilizing equipment such as an ice auger (drill), electronics heaters, and shelters. Anglers are able to stay warm and know where the fish are. Fish that are often caught in Montana while ice fishing include perch, pike, cutthroat trout, grayling, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Superior white fish, smallmouth bass, and crappie. The ice fishing season typically runs from December to early March. For the inexperienced ice fisherman, it can be dangerous out there on the lake if one goes too early or too late in the season. This is why we recommend using an ice fishing guide if it’s your first time going as this makes it safe and affordable.
