Flytrip Lake #5+1 is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho.
Flytrip Lake #5+1 is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho and covers about 0.29 acres.
Flytrip Lake #5+1 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
On a short evening 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 quick scouting pass near a shaded bank close to shade, 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 short evening pass near a protected point after warm rain, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a first shoreline check near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, 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 an overcast morning near the first break in stained water, 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 steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
