Fish species in Frog Lake

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.

Frog Lake in Custer County is a lake in Idaho.

No reliable acreage is listed for Frog Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Frog Lake include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

On a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat 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.

How to Read the Water

On a careful second pass near a shallow shelf with stable weather, 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.

Season by Season

While using a short cover-to-depth check near a clean gravel patch under flat light, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, 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 slow shoreline pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
