On a water as small as Idaho Lake #2B, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On an overcast morning near a shaded bank near visible bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the final pass near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 a creek-side turn with stable weather, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a careful look at water color near the downwind side with stable weather, 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 a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing depth, 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 an overcast morning near an open-water edge before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
