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 #4 is a lake in Valley County, Idaho and covers about 2.42 acres.
On a water as small as Belvidere Lake #4, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On an overcast morning near a windblown shore away from empty shoreline, 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 careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with light wind, Cutthroat Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone 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.
On a slow shoreline pass near an open-water edge 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.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near the downwind side while the water is rising, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf 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 the downwind side close to shade, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
