Mystery Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Mystery Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Mystery Lake include Golden Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a short evening pass near the outside weed line near firm bottom, 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 steady fall day near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, 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 short cover-to-depth check near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
On a calm morning near the downwind side near visible bait, 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 slow shoreline pass near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
