By John Letasky, of Montana Lee Newspapers Anglers itching to get out and fish the smaller streams and creeks will be happy because the general fishing season opens this Saturday in Montana. However, Bob Jacklin of West Yellowstone would like to remind fishermen that the waters in Yellowstone National Park will not be open to fishing until May 26. In other news, the conces sion stand at the intake fish ing access near Glendive is open, but the water is not high enough for there to be much paddlefish activity. But Tom Canape of the Laurel Sport Center reports some anglers have been snagging paddlefish around Peggy's Bottom on the Missouri River. And near the dam and in the Big Dry Arm at Fort Peck, anglers are getting into some nice walleyes.
Fishing is day to day.
Worms and some Power Bait might work. At Barry's Landing they are still catch ing fish, nothing big, but catching fish. Some guys caught eight fish from the dock, with the largest being four pounds. The anglers were jigging with minnows. The guys with the boats are experiencing spotty fish ing.
