CDA is flooded 4-5 feet above summer pool right now. We took 2 boats out again; this time the other boat out-bassed us, 20 keepers to 6. Unfortunately I didn't get much help from my co-angler ;). All but maybe 4-5 were largemouths. Only 3 small pike were boated as well but each boat got bit off once. Biggest LM was about 4lbs. The St. Joe has flooded the south end with freezing cold river water (48-52F) making for a hard day's work at the lake. Persistance eventually paid off though. Finding warmer water seemed to be key.

Nice. Interesting that hyou got mostly LMB. The SMB have been hot for friends of mine, fishing near the outlet of CDA.

Once every spring my wife and I visited her grandparents who lived in St. Marys. I had so many great bass fishing trips fishing Benewah. And, like your fishing trip, my most memorable was when the lake was much higher than its normal pool. And only you guys would know where this is at. I had a bass fishing trip I will never duplicate again. I was fishing the Rainy Hill Lake. It was so high that I was wading and fishing in the picnic and playground....and catching bass. Fun.....

Thanks for the report. I fished there for the first time a few weeks ago for a few hours and did manage to C&R one LMB. Good to see some info on the lake.
