Rye Grass Reservoir is a reservoir in Bingham County, Idaho.

The recorded size of Rye Grass Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

On a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, 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 steady fall day near a shallow shelf after warm rain, 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 first shoreline check near the edge of deeper water 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, 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.

During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
