Travel Nursing where to fish?

Guys i have been looking into Travel nursing some. I have found some agencies that have some travel nursing opportunities there in Montana. I love to Crappie fish. Was wondering which part of Montana I should be looking at to choose a work place for 16 weeks and crappie fish 4 days a week! I am in the very beginning of this searching phase but figured you guys could narrow my search alot! Any info is much appreciated! I would like to be somewhat close to yellowstone as well if possible. Would like to take my son and wife on adventures on my off days.

"Mississippi"

Yes sir! I fish there semi-often as is. Man I wanna some of that gorgeous western country! And catch fish while Im there! And would also like to give ice fishing a shot. But that is not as high on my wish list as other things.

Me too I tell them i am from Batesville they think "Miss" folk. Not Arkansas. Don't tell im!! LOL.
usually trade our crappie for Missisippi/Ark football ticket's Work's every time.LOL.My Pic crappie is in Mississippi.Grenada Miss. Best of luck. For you and your family.Enjoy your post

Hahahahaha thats funny Jackie! Appreciate all your help and kind words!

Lowe pro sorry so late in getting back to you I just was busy in my tackle shop. Where in Montana are you headed to?

Thankyou for the help whiptail! I am signed up with several different agencies. There are literally 100's of assignments scattered across Montana. I was going to choose my job assignment in the general area of the best fishing! :biggrin

After all.......that is what life is about right! FISHING!!!!!!

LowePro,
Looks like the crappie have been run down to Mississippi by the trout. I will be spending 5 months in Montana and Wyoming this year and I wanted to know also. The moderator of this section either got lost or he can't find any crappie in Montana. Wyoming doesn't even have a section. Guess I will be learning to catch trout.

Man I hear there are tons of crappie around these areas! I also hear they use em for catfish bait, like they are not considered quality fish up there! They dont know what they are missing!!!!! Hahahahaha. Thats ok, we will have to go up there and have it all to ourselves. Man I just dont even know where to start. Montana is HUGE!

Thanks for the info, LowePro. I read in the travel guide that the Black Hills of South Dakota are full of crappie. That's my first stop after a week of fishing in Oklahoma. That gave hope for Montana and Wyoming.

I guess if you are taking a pricey fishing trip with a full complement of top level fly fishing gear and paying big bucks for a personal guide, you have to turn up your nose at a lowly panfish. Crappie don't have any snob appeal and those of us who love to eat them, don't care what they're missing.:biggrin

Thank you for finding and sending the information. Appreciate it.

southwest mt. is just packed full of great flyfishing that you do not need a guide for. I go out every year and always find new water to fish, and always catch fish. have fun!

I hail from Dillon, Montana, and I guarantee you won't find any crappie in southwest Montana. Up around Kalispell is your best bet. I would recommend that you find a sporting goods store in Kalispell and begin your search there. The scenery is great and you are near to Glacier Park, although most people would prefer to go through Yellowstone. There are crappie in eastern Montana, but it is not nearly as pretty. Wherever you go in western Montana, you will be near some unbelievably great scenery and great high mountain trout, as well as the normal trout fishing. These are a few pictures from a Razr ride to some cutthroat-loaded lakes.
