Dike Lake is a lake in Caribou 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.
Dike Lake in Caribou County is a lake in Idaho and covers about 57.1 acres.
Dike Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
During the final pass near a protected point near firm bottom, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first pass near a quiet corner with a moving bait, 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.
Coho Salmon, Common Carp, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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 steady fall day near scattered wood 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 a clean gravel patch close to shade, 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 steady fall day near a shallow shelf before changing areas, 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.
On a cool spring morning near a protected point with light wind, 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.
