Situated on the western edge of Idaho’s largest lake, Fins & Feathers Tackle Shop & Adventure Guide Service in Coeur d’Alene offers anglers an unmatched gateway to some of the region’s richest waters. This locally revered guide service pairs a fully stocked tackle shop with expertly led fishing excursions across Coeur d’Alene Lake and nearby Pend Oreille. The waters here are known for their diverse fish populations, including Kokanee salmon, Chinook, northern pike, bass, perch, lake trout, and crappie—species that attract both weekend anglers and serious fishermen alike.

The guides at Fins & Feathers, including Clay and Zach, bring decades of combined experience and local knowledge that elevate every outing beyond a typical fishing trip. Whether you're after trophy Chinook salmon or fun-filled bass and crappie action, their game plan focuses on targeted techniques and spots proven to deliver. Reviewers consistently praise Clay’s attention to detail—not just putting clients on fish, but sharing practical tips on fish cleaning and seasoning, adding a personal touch rarely found elsewhere.

Though the region’s scenery is marked by forested slopes plunging into crystal-clear waters, it is the lake’s ecological variety that draws anglers. Coeur d’Alene’s glacial origins carved a unique underwater landscape that supports complex fish habitats. Meanwhile, Pend Oreille offers deeper, colder waters favored by lake trout and rainbow trout, adding variety to your catch options.
