Welcome, where did you live in Texas? My family moved here from Texas back in 93. We lived between Houston and Beaumont, out in the country.
Don't get rid of your bait caster. As others have said, there is some great bass fishing to be had. I do agree that you might want to use slightly lighter tackle than you did down south. Spinning gear definitely has it's place too, especially with some finesse techniques.
I don't really have any advice for you on the Idaho Falls area, as I live on the west side of the state.
Not sure how familiar you are with the area, but the biggest difference between Idaho and Texas is the percentage of public land. You will feel much less constricted when trying to roam around. That can work against you too, because most everyone else has the same ability. You will learn to keep hush-hush about your hotspots.
