Green Lake in Custer County is a reservoir in Idaho.
On a check of nearby water near a channel bend away from empty shoreline, the recorded size of Green Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Green Lake include Arctic Grayling, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
On a careful second pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a calm morning near a creek-side turn close to shade, Arctic Grayling, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow 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 the downwind side near visible bait, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a simple two-depth check near a protected point with stable weather, 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.
On a short evening pass near a channel bend while the water is falling, 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.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat 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.
