Roaring River Lake #2 is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho and covers about 0.24 acres.

The small size of Roaring River Lake #2 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 protected point 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 quiet corner 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.

How to Read the Water

On a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch 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.

Season by Season

While using a short check of nearby structure near a shaded bank beside useful cover, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a steady fall day near a small drop with a moving bait, 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 return to the best bank near a channel bend near visible bait, 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.
