Cada Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Idaho.
Cada Reservoir is a reservoir in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 12 acres and holds roughly 90 acre-feet.
The small size of Cada Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a methodical search near a protected point away from empty shoreline, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, 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 an overcast morning near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, 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.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near the downwind side in clear water, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
On a cool spring morning near the first break 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 low-light period near a windblown shore before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
