Knob Lakes is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Knob Lakes, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
On a steady fall day near a creek-side turn close to shade, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a methodical search near a protected point near visible 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 cold winter outing near a windblown shore with a moving bait, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone 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.
During the first hour near a windblown shore 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 short check of nearby structure near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, 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.
On a cool spring morning near a rocky edge with stable weather, 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 return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
