While Irwin, Idaho, isn't typically known as a bass fishing hotbed, anglers can find some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing opportunities. Palisades Reservoir, located nearby, is the primary location to target. The reservoir's structure, including submerged timber and rocky points, provides excellent habitat for bass. The best time to fish for largemouth here is during the summer months, particularly June through August, when the water temperatures are warmer and the fish are more active. Look for bass in the shallows during the early morning and late evening hours. A good tip is to use weedless lures, such as Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits, to navigate the vegetation. While the bass here aren't trophy-sized, you can expect to find fish in the 2-4 pound range, providing a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
