Item: Idaho Bucket List: 5 fishing experiences you want to hit before you die/Roger Phillips, Idaho Statesman
More Info: You can catch North America’s largest freshwater fish in its deepest gorge. How many more superlatives do you need? Sturgeon are prehistoric fish that typically are measured in feet, not inches, and you can catch them in one of Idaho’s most scenic places, where bighorns roam and chukars call from the cliffs. The canyon divides Idaho and Oregon in a roadless stretch below Hells Canyon Dam.
Question: The Idaho Statesman reporter mentions no “bucket list” fishing spots north of Lewiston, unless you consider the “Mountain Lake Trout” entry to cover our area. Which fishing spots in North Idaho should be included on the “Idaho Bucket List”?

Are you serious, DFO? Nobody’s going to publish their secret fishing hole ona blog that gets thousands of hits a day.. it’d be fished out by the end of the week…

Bent; I was talking generic here … ah … within a 100 miles or so. Izzit anywhere near your favorite huckleberry patch? ;-)

I agree with Bent. If it is a bucket list type of spot, a fisherman ain’t sharing with Jane Q Public. ;)
