By Popular Demand! Held Over for Another Week!
This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with outdoorsman Scott Arnold about ice fishing on 3 incredible reservoirs near Helena. Plus, Scott also covers ice fishing out on Georgetown Lake located 48 miles west of Butte near the historic little town of Philipsburg. Scott has ice fished these waterbodies for over 40 years so he knows them better than most folks you will ever meet! Scott gives you a TON of info about where to find and how to catch the Kokanee, Walleye, Trout, Ling (aka, Burbot) and Perch that are in these incredible waterbodies! As Rigger put it; “It is no surprise that this Podcast has been so popular. It is full of AWESOME info. I can’t wait get out on these lakes and try all I leaned from him. I know that folks are not only going to love this podcast, but they’re also going to catch A LOT of fish!”.  After you listen not only will you know how to fish these lakes, but you will also have a ton of knowledge about what lures, baits and other tackle to use, where to find each of the different species of fish that Scott talks about in each lake and the best techniques to use to catch them! So hit that play button, sit back and soak all that knowledge in!
