While Cambridge, Idaho, might be better known for trout and salmon, you can find largemouth bass in Brownlee Reservoir on the Snake River. This reservoir, straddling the Idaho-Oregon border, offers a surprisingly good largemouth fishery. Focus your efforts in the back of coves and along rocky shorelines, particularly during the warmer months. Spring and early summer, when the bass are spawning, can be especially productive. Look for submerged structure, such as brush piles and rocky outcroppings, as these areas tend to hold fish. Try using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms to entice strikes. Be prepared for fluctuating water levels, as the reservoir is used for irrigation and power generation. A good access point is the Brownlee Park and Boat Ramp on the Idaho side, providing ample parking and launching facilities. Remember to purchase the appropriate fishing license for either Idaho or Oregon, depending on where you plan to fish.
