Two Bottom Lake is a lake in Blaine County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Two Bottom Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
On a warm summer afternoon near a small drop in stained water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, 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.
During the first hour near a channel bend while the water is rising, 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 careful look at water color near a small drop after a cold night, 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.
During the first hour near a rocky edge where food is present, 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 shaded bank under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
