Northwest Fishing Reports

Hey,

Does anyone know a few good techniques for bassin' the Pend Oreille River? I have never fished for bass there and I don't know anything about the fish patterns there. I have been looking at a lot of Topographic maps or the river and have been up there a few times to look at it and study the behavior. It is a really slow moving, large river! But yeah, if anyone has tips on the Pend Oreiile River, let me know!
THANX!! :brilsmurf

By the way, I am also new to river fishing for bass, so if anyone has tips on that, please let me know!

I fished it in the fall of 07. It was great. We got smallies and largies, they were everywhere. My buddy killed them on the DS, I killed them on a T-rig Strike King 3x wormy. The big ones were on the points with the most current, but mind you that was fall.

Don't be intimidated that it is a river. Fish it much the same as you would fish a still body of water. The current here is not enough to change tactics from a lake, unless fishing at the bass's higher range in the system.

THANXZ FOR THE ADVICE!!! WILL PUT IT TO USE!!!

I plan to fish this river also this year and it will be my first time. I have a boat and if anyone would like to help with fuel we can check it out I have most weekends and late fridays open.

About when will the River heat up on bass fishing??
