Buck Lake #4 is a lake in Lemhi 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.
Buck Lake #4 is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho and covers about 3.15 acres.
The small size of Buck Lake #4 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a low-light period near the outside weed line after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a steady fall day near the first break 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.
Arctic Grayling, Cutbow 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.
During the first pass near a quiet corner after a cold night, 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 simple look at cover and depth near a windblown shore with light wind, 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.
On a low-light period near a small drop while the water is rising, 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 mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
