Upper Knob Lake is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Upper Knob Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
On a methodical search near the first break with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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 check of nearby water near a rocky edge before changing areas, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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.
On a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, 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 one pass beside the best cover near the edge of deeper water in clear water, 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.
On a steady fall day near a windblown shore with a slow lure, 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 quick scouting pass near an open-water edge in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
