For another large-river fishing experience,the Missouri River borders the state on thenortheast corner <strong>of</strong> this region. These larger rivers areknown for big flathead, channel, <strong>and</strong> blue catfish.Rivers above reservoirs in this region are known foroutst<strong>and</strong>ing white bass runs. Milford Reservoir is thelargest lake in the state, followed closely by TuttleCreek. Reservoirs in this region commonly provideoutst<strong>and</strong>ing crappie, white bass, <strong>and</strong> walleye fishing.In 2003, Milford Reservoir hosted the Cabela's NationalTeam Walleye Championships. The hilly,mostly forested eastern portion <strong>of</strong> this region is dottedwith many smaller, clear-water state fishing lakes<strong>and</strong> community lakes to complement the five largefederal reservoirs.
