Queens River Lake #35 is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho and covers about 4.6 acres.
The small size of Queens River Lake #35 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
On a return to the best bank near a narrow cove beside useful cover, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn 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
During the start of a weather change near a small drop near firm bottom, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using a short pass along useful shoreline near the first break before changing areas, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch 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 calm morning near the downwind side while the water is falling, 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.
