Kitchen Creek Lake #3 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
On a bright afternoon near a narrow cove before changing depth, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On an overcast morning near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, 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 rocky edge with a moving bait, 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.
On a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side where two features meet, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a brief open-water pass near a quiet corner with a moving bait, 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.
During the last hour of daylight 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 an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
