I don't have a particular order but these are a few that I would like to try.

Table Rock

Pickwick

Amistad

Champlain

Cave Run

Champlain and Cave Run also kick out some huge n true muskies. So I would enjoy having the chance to land some big bass and musky. Keyword "Chance"

1. Lake El Salto - Spending 5 days fishing for big bass in warm weather sounds pretty nice right now!

2. Dworshak Reservoir - Huge smallmouth and kokanee, I want to try swimbaits there!

3. Clear Lake

4. Lake Okeechobee - Half a million acres of shallow vegetation and big bass! Sounds like some fun fishing!

5. Amazon River for Peacock Bass with topwater - I am thinking that something is wrong with me for not putting this as #1 on my list!!

I fished Sugar Lake, that is the one just inside Mexico by Falcon, we actually followed a Local down their and took my boat over the border. I wouldn't go back though, the guys with machine guns freaked me out. The cool thing was that you payed a guy $5 to watch your truck all day and he would sit there and do nothing but watch your truck, while you fished, it was an awesome adventure.
