Daniels Reservoir is a reservoir in Oneida County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Daniels Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Daniels Reservoir include Rainbow Trout and Idaho Sucker.
On an overcast morning near a channel bend with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Lahontan 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
On a check of nearby water near a narrow cove with a moving bait, 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 a brief open-water pass near a clean gravel patch where food is present, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
On a steady fall day near an open-water edge after warm rain, 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 cool spring morning near a narrow cove with stable weather, 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.
