Don Reservoir is a reservoir in Jerome County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Don Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
During the first pass near an open-water edge beside useful cover, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a methodical search near scattered wood under flat light, 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 cool spring morning near a windblown shore with stable weather, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a simple two-depth check near the first break 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.
During the first pass near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, 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 warm summer afternoon near an open-water edge with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
