Leno Reservoir is a reservoir in Twin Falls County, Idaho.
Leno Reservoir is a reservoir in Twin Falls County, Idaho and covers about 3 acres and holds roughly 25 acre-feet.
The small size of Leno Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore near firm bottom, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the final pass near a protected point after a cold night, 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 low-light period near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using one protected-water check near the first break with a slow lure, 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.
On a bright afternoon near scattered wood with light wind, 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.
During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
