LIVE from Flathead Lake, Montana for Day 2 of our 3 day lake trout marathon September 21, 2026. We launch from Big Arm Campground to rerun deep troll passes and jig deeper holes for giant lake trout plus lake whitefish.
Join us live from Flathead Lake in Montana for Day 2 of our Lake Trout Marathon Camp Grind. We're excited to share our lake trout fishing adventures with you, as we spend our days trolling for lake trout and other species like whitefish and yellow perch. Flathead Lake is a renowned destination for Montana fishing, and we're taking full advantage of its pristine waters. Our home base for this fishing marathon is Big Arm Campground, where we'll be camping and preparing for each day's fishing excursion. From boat fishing to camping under the stars, we're immersing ourselves in the beauty of Montana's outdoor landscape.
