Lower Knob Lake is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Lower Knob Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
On a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch in stained water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first pass near a shaded bank with light wind, 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 check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water with light wind, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore near firm bottom, 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 quick look at firm bottom near the mouth of a pocket with light wind, 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.
On a cold winter outing near the downwind side while the water is rising, 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 start of a weather change near a shallow shelf where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
