Catherine Lake #1 is a lake in Valley 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.
Catherine Lake #1 is a lake in Valley County, Idaho and covers about 4.54 acres.
On a water as small as Catherine Lake #1, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Catherine Lake #1 include Cutthroat Trout.
On a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, 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 cool spring morning near a windblown shore while the water is rising, 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 short cover-to-depth check near the edge of deeper water with a slow lure, 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 calm morning near a shallow shelf 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 a shaded bank with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
