Tim, All the lakes are really low right now and fishing is really hot in the Lincoln County Channeled Scablands area and I would imagine as the weather warms up, it will just get better for the bass fishing. Not so good for the trout though.... There's just no run off available for lack of snow pack. Something you may want to consider for your bass fishing...Whitestone Lake.
