Lizard Lake #2 is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 2.62 acres.

On a water as small as Lizard Lake #2, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

On a methodical search near the downwind side with stable weather, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the final pass near the mouth of a pocket 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.

How to Read the Water

On a slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf with light wind, 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.

Season by Season

While using a first shoreline check near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn after a cold night, 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 last hour of daylight near the outside weed line beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
