Fishing in Idaho

[KopperBuck]

When I was living in Spokane Valley, I spent easily 3/4  of my fishing time across the border - I was on the water 2-3 times a week minimum from April through hunting season. That is one of the main reasons I want to move back.

I was at lake Coeur d'Alene a few weeks ago.

We rented a pontoon boat and caught a lot of Bass and Pike using crankbaits, it was easy fishing.

Two lakes that need to be on your radar for big trout:

Lake Pend Oreille
Priest Lake

Thanks Dale, now if I just liked catching trout!

Are you fishing from a boat?

14 foot Sotar Cataraft, it's an oar rig.

Thanks everyone!!!!!

CDA is a great lake with lots of options.  Landlocked Chinook, kokanee, pike, and bass are all great options.  Hayden has pretty good fishing for Pike, bass, and kokanee also.  I'm a big fan of CDA though and so far this year haven't fished another body of water in Wa or Idaho other than CDA.

Forgot about CDA, you can fish for almost any species on CDA, and catch fish regularly.

That's usually my go to launch, unless I get a late start on the weekends. Get your tribal too, sure you know that.

I could kick you right now for bringing all this up, btw.... killing me

I typically use the same launch.  It's a nice midway point on the lake and it's pretty close for us Washington guys.  I had an issue finding parking last time but that's because there was a bass tourney on the lake that weekend.  I need to find another launch for days like that though.
