About Alturas Lake
Set in Idaho, United States, Alturas Lake is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Alturas Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pikeminnow
Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees or rock piles, as Northern pikeminnow often ambush prey from these locations; vary your retrieve until you find what triggers a strike.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Cutthroat trout
When fishing streams, cast upstream and retrieve with the current to mimic natural drift, increasing your chances of hooking wary cutthroat trout.
