Cache Creek Lake #3 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.
Cache Creek Lake #3 in Lemhi County is a lake in Idaho and covers about 4.82 acres.
On a water as small as Cache Creek Lake #3, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Cache Creek Lake #3 include Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, Arctic Grayling, Cutbow Trout, 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 quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat where two features meet, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a quick comparison of two banks near an open-water edge 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 bright afternoon near a windblown shore before changing areas, 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 quick scouting pass near the first break where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
