On small lakes, active short moves and one variable tests beat waiting. Try 10 to 20 minute stops around different structure, change one thing per move, and treat each stop as a test not a commitment. #Smalllakes #Inlandfishing #Laketactics #Northidaho #Fishynw

A non slip loop gives lures more natural action. Keep the finished loop compact so it does not tangle or affect hookups. Practice at home with your go to baits. #KnotCorner #FlyFishing #SpinFishing #NorthIdaho #InlandNorthwest
