Glasgow montana ideas?

[johnnybow]

We will be staying in glasgow the 2 week of November for a Buffalo hunt and looking for ideas to do for the rest of the week we are there. I read the trout fishing is good below the port peck dam and will probably try that but I am open to anything. Any suggestions on fishing, sight seeing or even left over tags? Thanks

Bring your shotgun, the bird hunting is decent, and your long John’s. I’ve been hunting there in mid November it was well below zero and the wind was blowing 25. Good luck on the Buffaloe

I don’t know anything about the trout fishing, but in November I might rather chase pheasant and sharptails around, of which are plentiful in the area.

I mean outside of the killer sunsets there's not a ton of sight seeing that I'm aware of

Can we flush them without a dog?

Not sure if they’ll be ice covered by then, but home run pond right in town and the base pond just north of town were just stocked with some decent size trout a couple weeks ago.

I really don’t know why you’d plan on spending that much time up there personally

I always make sure to get to Eugene Pizza whenever I'm up there.

Don’t know why you’d stay in Glasgow when you could stay in Poplar. It’s not that far from there and such a beautiful little town.

I have to temper some expectations here regarding the sharptail hunting. Grouse numbers all around (both varieties) appear way down this fall. I think nest success was very poor with all the rain. Very few broods out there. Everyone I’ve chatted with this fall has experienced the same.

Fishing below Ft. Peck is a seriously mixed bag if you're fishing from the shores for trout. Yeah there's trout but there's a ton of pike and walleye down there, too. They're all usually pretty good size fish, though. The guy who runs the Lakeridge tackle shop up on top of the dam is very nice but if you aren't fishing from a boat for giant trophy this and that, he doesn't have much to offer, so try to be prepared before you get there.

Anyone who tells you to fish under the bridge where the water enters those swimming hole dredges is not your friend. And that pond that's labeled "trout pond recreation area" on the Google maps down there is also full of pike.

Stop in at Dad's Bar in Wolf Point for a drink and a snack if you've got the time. Good folks in there.

A good friend was just up there and said the same.

You got that much time you could drive up to St. Marie the cold war era ghost town north of Glasgow.

We are flexible. We were just trying to stay somewhere close to the reservation. I take it poplar is alot nicer of a town?

You missed the sarcasm. Don’t stay in Poplar.

I think he’s pulling your leg.

I've always been partial to Wolf Point myself

Pick your spots and you might could, especially if it’s cold and they are concentrated in more marginal cover. If it’s warm and they are all spread out in the short grass prairie it might be tough without a dog.

I’m curious how long do you expect this hunt to take?
