Nez Perce Lake #1 is a lake in Lemhi 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.
Nez Perce Lake #1 is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho and covers about 4.52 acres.
Nez Perce Lake #1 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Nez Perce Lake #1 include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a small drop beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a bright afternoon near a narrow cove in stained water, 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 last hour of daylight near the outside weed line with light wind, 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 brief open-water pass near a windblown shore away from empty shoreline, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
On a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat 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 low-light period near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
