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.

Little Park Lake is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 7.97 acres.

Little Park Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

On an overcast morning near a creek-side turn with stable weather, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the first pass near the outside weed line beside useful cover, 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 steady fall day near a narrow cove in clear water, rainbow 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 an overcast morning near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, 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.

Season by Season

While using a shallow-to-deep search near a channel bend away from empty shoreline, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch under flat light, 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.

On a return to the best bank near the downwind side beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
