Went fishing this past weekend to the Pend O'Reille River, launching at Usk/Cusisk like I always do. Did ok....but the water is moving very fast and it is really murky right now. Tough to know where you are, what the bottom is like, etc.

I live up north in Spokane and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to pike fish.

I would like to try some different spots maybe a little closer to me on the Pend O'Reille.

Maybe by Oldtown?

I don't know what would be best really. I have an 18 foot lund with a 115 Merc, so I can scoot around fairly well.

Any help would be appreciated!

Also, do you think the fishing for pike is better up at Usk/Cusisk or down by Oldtown?

Thanks a ton!!!

You missed it by 5 years. There is way too many Pike in that river. The best fishing is from Dalkena upstream to the Cusick-Gardner Slough area. Its hard to catch a big one on a lure anymore. Use a bobber and a dead perch and your MONEY!

I like both Oldtown and up at Cusick.
I fish at Oldtown more as it is much closer to me. I got a nice 12 lb+ fish just the other day on a swimbait there, so you can catch big ones on lures just as well as with bait. I never bait fish after the water warms up, no need to . If you need info on the river at Oldtown I could help you out. It can be hazardous to navigate if you don't know it.
PM me through the site or email me rick@fnflures.com
