Northside Reservoir is a reservoir in Blaine County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Northside Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
On a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a return to the best bank near a small drop near visible 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.
On a short evening pass near a channel bend near visible bait, 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 simple check of moving water near a narrow cove while the water is falling, 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.
On a bright afternoon near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, 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 quiet corner before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
