Bernards Bedground is a lake in Owyhee County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Bernards Bedground, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
On a methodical search near a channel bend near firm bottom, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
On a bright afternoon near a narrow cove away from empty shoreline, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a simple two-depth check near the edge of deeper water close to shade, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the first pass near a narrow cove with a slow lure, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On a methodical search near a creek-side turn after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
