Feldspar Lake is a lake in Custer 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.
Feldspar Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 5.45 acres.
On a water as small as Feldspar Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a cold winter outing near a small drop before changing depth, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a return to the best bank near a channel bend in stained water, 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 cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change with stable weather, Arctic Grayling, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch in stained water, 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 short check of nearby structure near an open-water edge in stained water, 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.
On a short evening pass near a rocky edge where two features meet, 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 first hour near a shaded bank in clear water, 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.
