Rainbow Lakes is a lake in Valley County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Rainbow Lakes is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Rainbow Lakes include Rainbow Trout.
On a cold winter outing near a small drop close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a methodical search near a creek-side turn before changing areas, rainbow 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 the outside weed line beside useful cover, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a simple check of moving water near the downwind side near visible bait, 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.
On an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
On a quick scouting pass near the outside weed line before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
