Tenlake Basin is a lake in Boise County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Tenlake Basin, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Tenlake Basin include Arctic Grayling and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a short evening pass near a creek-side turn before changing areas, Arctic Grayling, and Westslope Cutthroat 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.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a small search around the first point near the first break close to shade, 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.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn with stable weather, 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 calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
