Welcome to Nelson Reservoir!

Nelson Reservoir is located in Philips County. It is over 4000 surface acres and provides anglers with great fishing opportunities for many species like walleye, pike, perch and crappie.  This body of water is created by Nelson Dam, a Bureau of Reclamation Dam, that dams the Milk River.

Our Operation and What to Expect

We fish for Pike and walleye, but if we find perch or crappie, we will certainly adjust to maximize the fishing opportunity. You can expect some trolling and some jigging.  As with anything, there are preferred times to better ensure your success. Spring time pike and walleye can be extremely productive but can get more challenging as the heat of the summer progresses. This doesn't mean we won't find action after this time period, it just means we have to work harder. 

​

When fishing with Lars, you'll leave from the Nelson boat ramp at the agreed upon time. The service is an 8+ hour day with some of this time set aside for cleaning and packaging fish if you wish to harvest.

 

Selective harvest is of utmost importance and is a responsibility that we take on, to ensure the future of our great fishery. If you're just wanting a fun day of catch and release, then we just fish for 8 hours straight, making memories!
