Curtis Lake is a lake in Valley County, Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Curtis Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
On a bright afternoon near the outside weed line near firm bottom, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat 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 cold winter outing near a quiet corner in clear water, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone 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.
During the first pass near a clean gravel patch under flat light, 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 simple two-depth check near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, 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 check of nearby water near a quiet corner close to shade, 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 an overcast morning near a channel bend before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
