Swan Falls Bass Fishing Awesome!

[Oskolkoff]

smartweed i agree while i did post a spot not a lot of people are going to have the means or guts to run 10 to 15 miles above the dam in most boats i used to run swan to grandview once a week that stretch of river like most in the snake is littered with huge rocks and hazards that will sink most boats if you are not careful any one that plans on fishing swan above or bellow the dam needs to know it is not strike even above the dam there is current that pulls you down river fast plus wind can be a big factor at swan just like strike also i have caught just as many dinks out of strike as swan and yes i know line breaking is not a good way to measure fish but this fish was almost in the net the pull he had on the rod and the size of him in the water it was the biggest small mouth i have ever hooked in to for sure it is hard to compare a place that only host 2 at the most tournaments a year to a place that has one every weekend in the summer less people fishing it means less fish being caught the fewer fish being caught the less big ones you are going to see any one that fish's for smallmouth knows for every one over 18" you catch you have probably caught 50 or more under 14" it is simple numbers also to say one body of water is going to have the next state record is kinda crazy if you ask me i have never fished walcott before so cant say much on it but does any one remember the rainbow that came out of the boise river a couple years ago some kid was fishing rite bellow luckypeak dam and caught a massive rainbow it was state record size but he gutted rite then and their and didn't think about it till it was to late i will try and find a link
