Cedar Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Twin Falls County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Cedar Creek Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Cedar Creek Reservoir include Bridgelip Sucker, Largescale Sucker, Rainbow Trout, and Redside Shiner.
During the final pass near a shaded bank with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Brook Trout, Cobow Trout, Coho Salmon, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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
During the first pass near a shaded bank close to shade, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using a small search around the first point near a protected point while the water is falling, 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
On a cold winter outing near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 the edge of deeper water in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
