The Lake level at Fort Peck is at its all time low, but it has not hurt the walleye fishing. Just check out these weights from the Rock Creek Tournament last weekend. It was a two day tourny with five fish a day limit.

Glasgow anglers Todd Riggs and Ken Schmidt had two huge days, weighing in a total of 77.16 pounds for 10 walleyes to win the $2,000 top prize in the Rock Creek Tournament out of Fort Peck Marina.

Riggs and Schmidt had individual day weights of 37.4 and 39.76 pounds and needed just about all of it as Scott Sundheim, Fairview, and Rory Walters, White Earth, had 35.24 and 38.62 for a 73.86-pound total for second place and $1,100. In third place were Kris Keller and Elliot Garfield, of Wolf Point, with 67.48 pounds.

The big walleye of the tournament weighed 13.25 pounds and was caught the second day by the team of Steve and Traci Harada. A total of 60 teams competed in the event.
