[Rhodes22-list] Fort Peck Reservoir - MT

[Tom Hogarty]

But Bob, its all down hill.  At least one way.  I fished there a few years
ago off my my Lund Alaskan 20'.  I heard it has more shoreline than
California, about 1600 miles.  Warm water, great swimming and fishing
(walleye 7, 9, and 11 1/2#, and 4# smallmouth) and no one around.  Hard to
cruise with a power boat as the marinas are far apart.  Plan to explore Fort
Peck when I return to Northern Wyoming from the Chesapeake.  I also would
like to try Reindeer lake in Northern Saskatchewan.
