Terteling Reservoir is a reservoir in Ada County, Idaho.
Terteling Reservoir is a reservoir in Ada County, Idaho and covers about 5 acres and holds roughly 20 acre-feet.
The small size of Terteling Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a warm summer afternoon near a small drop beside useful cover, 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 steady fall day near a protected point under flat light, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a simple two-depth check near a windblown shore where food is present, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
On a calm morning near the downwind side before changing areas, 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 final pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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.
