Knapp Lake #03 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.
Knapp Lake #03 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 16.16 acres.
On a water as small as Knapp Lake #03, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Knapp Lake #03 include Rainbow Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a quick scouting pass near a protected point after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first pass near a windblown shore where food is present, Westslope 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 final pass near the outside weed line after a cold night, 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 one careful route near the downwind side after warm rain, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
On a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat 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.
On a careful second pass near scattered wood where two features meet, 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.
