Its only a matter of time till an 8 pounder gets caught. Idaho will probably put out a 10 pound smallmouth soon as well. Fish and Game annually shocks dworshak lake in Idaho to guage population and health of fish species. I spoke with a officer last year and he told us 2 / 13 lb smallmouths came up in 2 sections of the lake, 20 miles away from each area.

Ive heard the same rumor, Ive caught some sixes there and have friends with eights. We fished it last week and it was tough for us.

New to the Lake so havent landed anything bigger than 3 lbs. You live in Idaho? I live near CDA. Without a boat until the Lynx comes in. BTW the office I spoke to was involved in the research. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome fish, Mike. Hoping to make that trip in a year or two.

Half the battle is getting to the lake, 26 miles of washboard dirt road, and praying it wont rain and turn to gumbo. Once you get there you have to start watching the wind. Giant smallies, but no place for the timid or anyone that considers their boat a shrine. Youll catch some good ones, but it will tear up your truck, camper, boat and trailer! I think its worth it though.
