Fish for walleyes
at Lewis and Clark
Lake
Throughout the month | Lewis
and Clark State Recreation Area
In July, fi nding fi sh gets challenging
anywhere in the state, but thanks to
the fl owing waters of Lewis and Clark
Lake, fi sh like walleye are still biting as
they search for food. This time of year,
it's mostly a trolling bite, so a variety of
crankbaits and live bait rigs work well.
Focus on fi shing shale banks, channel
swings, fl ats — anywhere you can fi nd
schooling walleyes.
