Baron Lake #2 is a lake in Boise County, Idaho.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Baron Lake #2 is a lake in Boise County, Idaho and covers about 6.48 acres.
Baron Lake #2 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During the last hour of daylight near an open-water edge where two features meet, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a careful second pass near a windblown shore 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 calm morning near a rocky edge before changing depth, Cutthroat 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.
During the first hour near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 first shoreline check near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, 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 methodical search near a protected point with a moving bait, 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.
During the final pass near a creek-side turn in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
