๐ฃ LIVE from Holter Lake in Central Montana โ dawn to dusk marathon boat fishing for Kokanee Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Northern Pike, and whatever else decides to make a poor life choice today.
๐ This is a true multi-species mayhem run on one of Montanaโs most interesting reservoirs. Holter can cough up kokanee, trout, walleye, pike, perch, burbot, brown trout, and maybe even a little emotional damage. The plan is simple: keep lines wet, cover water, adjust all day, and let the lake expose us on camera.
[ LOCATION & CONDITIONS ]
๐ Holter Lake Reservoir, Central Montana
๐ Stream date/time (MDT): Friday May 22, 2026 โ Dawn to Dusk Marathon
๐ฆ๏ธ Weather check: Friday at Holter Lake is looking rather cloudy but mild, with temps near 69ยฐF and no major rain signal in the fresh forecast. Water is still in a cool spring transition pattern, so weโll be trolling the Log Gulch / Split Rock river-transition zone for rainbow trout, kokanee, walleye, and pike.
[ TARGET SPECIES ]
๐ฏ Kokanee Salmon
๐ฏ Northern Pike
๐ฏ Rainbow Trout
๐ฏ Walleye
[ BONUS SPECIES ]
Brown Trout
Burbot
Yellow Perch
Mystery rod-bender that immediately comes unbuttoned because apparently we enjoy pain
[ WATERBODY NOTES ]
๐ 3,500-acre Montana reservoir with multiple access points
๐ฃ Legit multi-species fishery and home of the Montana STATE RECORD WALLEYE weighing over 17 lbs
๐ถ Big enough to reward adjustment, mobility, trolling speed changes, lure swaps, and stubborn refusal to go home
๐ Todayโs mission zone: Log Gulch toward Split Rock and the river-transition water
[ MISSION ]
Stay versatile. Hunt bites. Troll cowbells, wedding rings, worm harnesses, crankbaits, spoons, and whatever else looks mildly irresponsible. If Holter wants to be a trout lake today, weโll take it. If a walleye or pike shows up, weโll pretend that was the plan all along.
