everything from Eagle Rock up to the dam opens up on Memorial day weekend. I don't know how to explain where to go anywhere around there, the times that I have been down there I usually go around the Eagle Rock area managing my way around the brush, where there's a will there's a way....just be careful, footing can get a little iffy on the occasion.
I have never seen bass that far down the river, but I'll have to take you're word for it. You can catch some nice rainbows around there, back in the day had the opportunity to some very nice Browns

You can access Massacre Rocks area from the American Falls side of the river. There are some hiking paths that go down to the river. Be very careful if you wade the river in that area. There are many sudden drop offs, under tows etc... My wifes uncle died there a couple of years ago. He had fished the river all of his life and just stepped off of a ledge. His waders filled up with water before he could react.
This is a good post to remind everyone to be careful where ever you fish.
