Fish species in Belvidere Lake #2

Official stocking history

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.

Belvidere Lake #2 is a lake in Valley County, Idaho and covers about 3.03 acres.

The small size of Belvidere Lake #2 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Belvidere Lake #2 include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

On a cold winter outing near a creek-side turn before changing areas, Cutthroat Trout, and Westslope 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.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using a simple look at cover and depth near a shallow shelf in stained water, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a careful second pass near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

On a low-light period near the first break with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
