Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass near Oldtown, Idaho, the Pend Oreille River and its associated sloughs and backwaters offer promising opportunities. This area provides a diverse habitat with plenty of structure for bass to thrive. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and fallen trees. Summer and early fall are prime times for bass fishing here, as the water warms up and the fish become more active. A practical tip: the Pend Oreille River can experience fluctuating water levels due to dam operations, so be sure to check the river stage before heading out. Also, boat access is essential for exploring the best bass fishing areas, as much of the shoreline is undeveloped. The bass in this area can be quite aggressive, and topwater lures can be particularly effective during the early morning and late evening hours. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are also good choices. Be sure to check the Idaho Department of Fish and Game regulations for any specific rules or restrictions on the Pend Oreille River.
