Largemouth Bass
Looking for largemouth bass near Athol, Idaho? Head to Coeur d'Alene Lake and its associated bays and inlets. This expansive lake offers a variety of bass habitat, from weedy shallows to rocky points and submerged timber. Spring and early summer, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawn, are prime times to target largemouth. Look for them in the shallower bays where they are preparing to nest. As the water warms up in the summer, they tend to move to deeper water. A good access point is the Athol boat launch, which provides easy access to the northern part of the lake. A local tip: try fishing around the docks and boat houses, as these often provide cover for bass. The largemouth in Coeur d'Alene Lake tend to be healthy and well-fed, often reaching impressive sizes. Be prepared to use a variety of lures and techniques to find what the fish are biting on that day. Topwater lures can be particularly effective in the early morning and evening.
