Official stocking history

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.

Clark Lake is a lake in Fremont County, Idaho.

Without a dependable size figure for Clark Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

On a careful second pass near a protected point before changing depth, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On a methodical search near a rocky edge before changing areas, 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 short evening pass near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, 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.

How to Read the Water

On a short evening pass near a rocky edge beside useful cover, 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.

Season by Season

While using one pass beside the best cover near a small drop while the water is rising, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the final pass near a creek-side turn after warm rain, 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 a small drop where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
