Monster smallmouth live in the World renowned Dworshak Reservoir-Pacific Northwest jewel
Fishing Dworshak Reservoir through Stotts Fishing Adventures drops you right where the big catches happen – this lake ranks high among U.S. western trophy smallmouth spots and slowly becoming the go to spot. Built behind Dworshak Dam on the North Fork of the Clearwater, it stretches wide with layers of underwater layout, steep rock edges, open banks, and water so transparent you can see bottom. What makes it hum is how every corner – drop-offs, weed lines, sunken timber – hosts giant bass that lean heavily into record-worthy size. Some of these fish swim beyond what Idaho considers its best.
Guided Trophy Bass Fishing with Local Expertise
On Dworshak Reservoir, Stotts Fishing Adventures puts you in a boat with guides who’ve studied every twist and turn of the reservoir. Spring brings early bass movements – by summer, those patterns shift completely. By fall, fish habits change again, guiding us to exact spots where giants hide. Whether it’s ancient tree roots buried below, sharp drop-offs near shore edges, or even just shifts in water color, they know. Each day unfolds differently – weather, water temperature, barometric pressure and even mood of the fish – but one thing remains true: breaking personal bests is our passion.
A rare kind of fishing happens deep in Idaho’s wilderness.
Fishing aside, Dworshak Reservoir offers an outdoor adventure like few others. Through its tranquil stretches, fishermen face wild terrain from the Clearwater range, almost no crowd, a remoteness hard to find anywhere now. Riding the current here might land you a record catch – or simply your first glimpse of what this legendary bass spot feels like under real conditions. With guides at Stotts Fishing Adventures stepping in, newcomers get precision advice while veterans push limits on big catches, all while taking in views that hold you still. This place doesn’t just hold fish – it shapes memories.
Clearwater River Steelhead Fishing Guide
The Clearwater River is a World Class steelhead fishery and is considered Stott’s “Signature Fishery”. Most famous for the B – Run fish which spend 2 to 3 years out in the salt, the Clearwater fish can grow to twenty-five pounds. This medium sized river is super popular around the Pacific Northwest but also draws anglers from all over the world. We own two very, exclusive permits that allows our six full time guides to operate business on for the better part of seven months.
2 Exclusive Permits – 6 Full Time Guides
We are able to operate business on a sixty-mile stretch starting at the town of Orofino and down river to the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake. There are eight different boat ramps that are accessible to launch from with plenty of parking.
Lodging is available at the 30-30 Lodge on the Clearwater River as well local campgrounds for the camping enthusiast. We can accommodate any sized group from 2 anglers up to large corporate events. The steelhead season on the Clearwater opens September and fishes through March. Our team fishes everyday and keeps up with the changes throughout the season. Each season presents different technique opportunities as we adjust to the weather, water flows and temps. While other steelhead fisheries struggle to stay fishable due to rain, the Clearwater very seldom forces us to cancel a trip.
Highest Standard of Fishing
Our team of guides work exclusively for Stott’s Fishing Adventures and hold our fishing brand to the highest standard. All our trips are operated exclusively by a Stott’s fishing guide. Our Clearwater River steelhead trips will include a hot BBQ lunch, bait & tackle, 8 hours fishing, and your catch cleaned and packaged at the end of the day. We teamed up with Gary Loomis Edge Rod company which allows our anglers to fish the finest fishing rods.

Our Professional Guides and Staff
The Stottlemyre family, well known for their pitching & coaching heritage in Major League Baseball have spent their lifetime in the Pacific Northwest. Chasing elk and deer in the Cascade Mountains was an off-season passion and fishing was the face of who they are. Not discriminating amongst species, it was steelhead,bass and salmon that gave the baseball family their greatest thrills.
For Instance, the John Day, Columbia, Snake, Clearwater, Cowlitz, Yakima, Klickitat are just a few of the Northwest rivers they fished. Off days during the baseball season were few and far between but one thing was for certain, wetting a line was on the menu.
