For Largemouth Bass near Bancroft, Idaho, your best bet is to explore the smaller reservoirs and ponds that dot the landscape in southeastern Idaho. These often overlooked waters can hold surprisingly good numbers of bass. While I can't pinpoint specific honey holes without more localized knowledge, researching smaller, publicly accessible reservoirs in the surrounding counties is key. Look for areas with submerged vegetation, rocky points, and any kind of structure that bass can use for ambush points. Spring and early summer, during the spawn and post-spawn periods, are typically the most productive times. Try throwing spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics around cover. A practical tip: water levels in these smaller reservoirs can fluctuate, so be prepared to adjust your tactics accordingly. Also, be sure to check with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for any specific regulations or advisories regarding these waters.
