Misfire Lake #2 is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho and covers about 0.7 acres.
Misfire Lake #2 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf in clear water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a methodical search near the outside weed line 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat 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.
On a low-light period near an open-water edge where two features meet, 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 careful route near a small drop in stained water, 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.
During the final pass near a rocky edge 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 cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
