Section Corner Reservoir is a reservoir in Minidoka County, Idaho.

Without a dependable size figure for Section Corner Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

During the start of a weather change near a protected point before changing areas, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat 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 final pass near a creek-side turn near visible bait, 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.

Season by Season

While using a careful look at water color near a narrow cove after a cold night, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn with light wind, 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 slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
