For Largemouth Bass near Moscow, Idaho, focus your attention on the region's many small lakes and ponds. These often-overlooked waters can hold surprisingly good bass populations. Locations like Robinson Park Pond and other smaller, unnamed ponds scattered throughout Latah County are worth exploring. Spring, particularly pre-spawn (late April-May), and fall are prime times. Bass will be actively feeding in shallower water as they prepare to spawn or bulk up for winter. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, use lures with rattles or bright colors to help bass locate them. Also, bank fishing is often the only option on these smaller waters, so be prepared to walk and scout for good casting locations. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures, from crankbaits to soft plastics, can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment to find what they're hitting on any given day.
