i am new to fishing in Idaho...i have lived here for just over 2 yrs...I live in Heutter which is between Post Falls and CDA and i finally got my liscense this year and fishing tackle...i have fished the Spokane River from Huetter to the River Stone section of CDA and have been succesfull in catching many small mouth..unfortunately the dilema continues with them being rather small...the biggest one i got may have been about 10 inches..if im lucky...but most are averaging from tiny 2 inchers to about 6 inches...i have also fished Kelso, Fernan, and CDA lakes and same deal deal...small...6-7 inches maximum....and when i got my liscense and started fishing...it was about a month ago...well into the warmer weather...and i cant find the big ones thus far either...the only explanation i can think of has pretty much been stated...with it being rather cold and wet rather late into the year...i think it may hav affected the growth of the bass...i have no explanation for 2010...but this year doesnt seem to be the year for the big guys...but if my luck changes..ill let you know!!
