3. Fishing Framed by the Coeur d’Alene Mountains

Perfect for: Anglers of all levels

Tucked into the pine-lined hills of North Idaho, Hayden Lake offers a tranquil yet rewarding escape for anglers of all skill levels. With its clear, spring-fed waters and more than 40 miles of shoreline, this scenic lake is as generous as it is beautiful.

Bass – The lake’s deep, clear waters are perfect for catching largemouth and smallmouth bass. Try fishing near rocky points, submerged logs, and drop-offs.
Pike – Pike fishing on Hayden Lake is not only popular but has garnered statewide attention due to significant catches. In March 2023, an angler reeled in a 40.76-pound northern pike, setting a new Idaho state record.
Kokanee Salmon– The lake is stocked annually with approximately 100,000 early-run kokanee. Anglers seeking a rewarding fishing experience will find Hayden Lake’s kokanee fishery to be a prime destination, offering consistent catches and the opportunity to reel in sizable fish.
