Fall Creek Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
Fall Creek Lake in Custer County is a lake in Idaho and covers about 2.07 acres.
The small size of Fall Creek Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a steady fall day near the downwind side in clear water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn before changing depth, 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 low-light period near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, 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 small search around the first point near a quiet corner with stable weather, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a shaded bank with a moving 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 calm morning near a quiet corner under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
