Herrick Reservoir is a reservoir in Valley County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Herrick Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Herrick Reservoir include Rainbow Trout and Yellow Perch.
On an overcast morning near a protected point beside useful cover, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
On a methodical search near a protected point with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near a shaded bank after a cold night, Coho Salmon, 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.
On a methodical search near a windblown shore in clear water, 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 quick look at firm bottom near an open-water edge with a moving bait, 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 final pass near a narrow cove beside useful cover, 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 methodical search near a channel bend near firm bottom, 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.
