North Fork Bellas Lake 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.
North Fork Bellas Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 3.54 acres.
North Fork Bellas Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for North Fork Bellas Lake include Cutbow Trout and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
On a cold winter outing near the first break in clear water, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Yellowstone 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 final pass near a channel bend with stable weather, 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 one protected-water check near a rocky edge in clear water, 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 calm morning near a protected point in clear water, 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 windblown shore beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
