This year’s Montana paddlefish season kicks off on May 1 with the opening of the Upper Missouri River section from Fort Benton downstream to Fort Peck Dam
Billings Woman Snags Paddlefish on Upper Missouri River
What is that? I got a kick out of some of the comments on this photo.
She s a banker during the week, and apparently a slayer on the weekends. Krista Hood used to work with us here at the radio stations. She shared this photo of the paddlefish she caught on the Upper Missouri River last weekend.

Krista tells us that after a one year hiatus (thanks COVID), she was able to get back out on the water and snag and release a paddlefish.
Krista Hood: We went up opening weekend, May 1st, and the fishing was slow. We were not successful, but did have some luck with walleye and catfish from shore. Water levels began to rise last week, and that meant the fishing would get better with more fish running.
