Muldoon Lake #05 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.
Muldoon Lake #05 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 2.17 acres.
The small size of Muldoon Lake #05 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a low-light period near a channel bend after warm rain, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first hour near the first break near firm bottom, 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.
During the first hour near a narrow cove before changing depth, Golden 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 cool spring morning near a windblown shore in clear water, 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.
While using a first shoreline check near the first break away from empty shoreline, 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 slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, 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 quick scouting pass near an open-water edge under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
