Marge Lake is a lake in Valley County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Marge Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Marge Lake include Arctic Grayling, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
On a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a quick scouting pass near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, Arctic Grayling, and 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.
On a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore beside useful cover, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near a quiet corner under flat light, 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.
During the first pass near a rocky edge where food is present, 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 check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
