Edna Lake is a lake in Boise County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Edna Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Edna Lake include Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During the first hour near a protected point where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first pass near a narrow cove before changing areas, Arctic Grayling, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope 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.
How to Read the Water
On a low-light period near the first break before changing depth, 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.
Season by Season
While using a shallow-to-deep search near a quiet corner where food is present, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
On a cool spring morning near the downwind side before changing areas, 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 slow shoreline pass near the downwind side before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
