Moose Reservoir is a reservoir in Bingham County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Moose Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
On a check of nearby water near a windblown shore after warm rain, 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 clean gravel patch beside useful cover, 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 quick scouting pass near a windblown shore after a cold night, 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 a slow pass beside cover near the edge of deeper water close to shade, 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 start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat 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.
On a low-light period near a creek-side turn before changing areas, 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.
