Largemouth Bass
Bloomington, Idaho, while perhaps not the first place that springs to mind for largemouth bass, offers surprisingly good opportunities. Bear Lake, just a short drive away, holds a healthy population of largemouth, though its size means you'll want a boat to effectively cover ground. Summer is the peak season, as the water warms up and the bass become more active in shallower areas. Target weedy shorelines and submerged structure with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, or soft plastics. A local's tip: Pay attention to water clarity. Bear Lake can experience algal blooms, which can affect bass behavior. Adjust your lure colors and retrieve speeds accordingly. The bass here may not be giants, but the scenic beauty of the area and the chance to hook into a feisty largemouth make for a rewarding fishing experience.
