Ray Reservoir is a reservoir in Twin Falls County, Idaho.
Ray Reservoir is a reservoir in Twin Falls County, Idaho and covers about 3 acres and holds roughly 20 acre-feet.
On a water as small as Ray Reservoir, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the final pass near the edge of deeper water in clear water, 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 warm summer afternoon near the first break close to shade, 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 one pass along the first break near a channel bend after warm rain, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
On a careful second pass 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 short evening pass near a shaded bank beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
