Brundage Reservoir is a reservoir in Adams County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Brundage Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Brundage Reservoir include Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a quick scouting pass near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Cutbow Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
On a calm morning near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using one check of the nearest drop near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the final pass near a small drop while the water is rising, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
On a check of nearby water near a rocky edge before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
