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.
Bobber Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 4.06 acres.
The small size of Bobber Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
During the first hour near a rocky edge close to shade, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch after a cold night, 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 bright afternoon near a shaded bank where two features meet, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a simple two-depth check near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing depth, 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.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, 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 last hour of daylight near a quiet corner under flat light, 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.
