Doe Lake in Lemhi County is a lake in Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Doe Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Doe Lake include Rainbow Trout.
On a methodical search near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near a small drop near firm bottom, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow 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 scattered wood while the water is falling, 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 one protected-water check near a shaded bank while the water is rising, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near a protected point under flat light, 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 careful second pass near a clean gravel patch close to shade, 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.
