Title: Couer D Alene Lake Smallies
Post by: bass2elk on March 28, 2011, 07:46:47 AM: Anybody hear anything about the northern area of CDA yet for smallies. I am going there on Saturday. I am hoping its not a wasted trip. But if anything else i will get the boat out for the first time this year, Finally, now i just need the weather to cooperate even a little.

I agree, but don't you think Banks would be 10 times better for bass than C d'A? It will be tough no matter where he goes this time of the year.

Absolutely, Machias, with a strong influence on the smallmouth.
