Condie is by far the biggest draw for me to come to Idaho. Besides the best quality bass in the area, it was generally peaceful with no ski boats and abundant wildlife.
Weston is good that way too, so if Weston survives I'll probably still get a license. If it goes, I probably won't.
Glendale and Twin both have some nice fish too, but they are party lakes, and I'd rather not deal with the spectacle except early and late in the season. Who knows though, those places could end this year too.
Oneida is fun for smallies, but it can get infested with ski boats in the summer, and it's definitely the longest drive to get there of all the lakes in the area.
It's just frustrating to see every reservoir on The Bear totally full, seeing all that water being flushed down into the Salt Lake while all these reservoirs wither and die. And because of that, I can't even fish the river for smallies because it's all blown out and full of vegetation.
