All right guys, here's a question I need an answer from YOU ASAP!  Name the best bass lakes in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

 

And go!

Lake Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho was ranked in the top 10 for the country a few years back.

Coeur d’ Alene is a proven lake.  But what about others?

Lake Elmo, MT recently produced a state record.  I've heard good stuff about Echo Lake, MT.  Fort Peck has massive SMB (also MT).

Great!  Thanks!  I think that covers MT.  How about WY?  Anyone?

In addition to CDA, Dworshak Reservoir has a good reputation for big smallmouth. State record of 9.7 was caught there 15 years ago and there have been a lot of big SM caught since.

Bighorn lake, Kleenburn ponds, which produced the massive 11.5 lb state record, really large for this far north.  Other than that, I don't know much about WY.

Flaming Gorge is western Wyoming. Great smallmouth lake.
