Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Gooding, Idaho, look no further than the local irrigation reservoirs and ponds. While not as renowned as some of the state's larger bass fisheries, these smaller waters can hold some surprisingly good bass fishing. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with weed growth, flooded timber, and other structure. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local tip: pay attention to water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on irrigation demands. Check with local anglers or the Gooding County Sheriff's Office for current access information and any restrictions. The bass in these waters tend to be relatively aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and lure presentations.
