Knapp Lakes is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Knapp Lakes, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
On a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a low-light period near a rocky edge before changing areas, 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.
During the start of a weather change near the first break before changing areas, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a careful look at water color near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near a protected point where food is present, 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 with stable weather, 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.
