Upper Line Lake is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 0.86 acres.
Upper Line Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
On a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a cool spring morning near a small drop after warm rain, 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 pass near the mouth of a pocket 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 one check of the nearest drop near scattered wood under flat light, 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 last hour of daylight near scattered wood while the water is rising, 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 shallow shelf while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
