Tiber Reservoir Secrets is the MT Outdoor Podcast Episode Worth a Replay

Last week’s Tiber Reservoir episode made waves; by popular demand, it’s staying for another week—don’t miss it…

By popular demand, the Montana Outdoor Podcast is keeping last week’s episode up for another week—Tiber Reservoir and its giant walleyes. Tune in as host Downrigger Dale sits down with Katie Vivian, FWP Region 4 Fisheries Manager and self-proclaimed Tiber fan, to crack the code on why last June’s Walleyes Unlimited Walleye Tournament turned into a record-breaking, national-headline-making event. So many teams hauled in massive fish over two days that anglers across the country were asking the same question: what changed at Tiber? Katie has the inside scoop, and her explanation will give you that “mystery solved” moment!

Just to clarify, there won’t be a new podcast episode this week—feedback from listeners showed that this one from last week deserved a second spin! If you haven’t listened, this will be worth checking out, as Katie also shares pro tips for fishing this notoriously tricky reservoir, talks about what else is swimming in its waters, and even shows off some awesome pictures from her netting surveys. This episode is a must-listen—or better yet, a must-watch on YouTube. Fair warning: after hearing Katie’s insights, you might just find yourself planning your own trip to North Central Montana.

Even if you already heard/saw this one, it is worth the listen/watch again!
